We are committed to guiding each of our students towards the best course and university combination to suit their expectations, profile and academic level.
To this end, we have chosen to operate completely independently of universities and we receive no commission from them. We are therefore able to devote ourselves exclusively to the student's interests.
Our advice on choosing universities goes beyond issues of rankings, university reputation and the grades required to enter a Bachelor's or Master's degree. This is an important part of the decision-making process, but other factors also deserve to be taken into consideration when studying abroad.
The student who enrols in a Bachelor's degree will study at the university for at least three years, so they must feel at ease in this environment. The lifestyle, whether in a city or on a campus, the housing options and the cost of living are all criteria to be taken into account when making a choice. For the student applying for a Master's degree, it is important to ensure that the time they will spend at their chosen university aligns well with their further study plans. Master's degree courses are highly specialised and the student must be sure that they perfectly match their academic background and specialisation expectations.

Another distinctive feature of our support is that it is completely individual. There are no group meetings.
We work one-to-one with the candidate to ensure every stage of their application is optimised, which includes:
Working closely with the student, we aim to make this process as smooth as possible, allowing them to remain focused on their current academic year in order to achieve the grades required for their chosen courses.
You wish to internationalise your profile and master the practice of English to open up international career opportunities. Expat Student selects English-language courses for you at reputable universities in the UK, Europe (Netherlands, Spain, etc.) and Canada. All of these courses enjoy a worldwide reputation and their teaching approach is resolutely focused on the professional world.
Although it has left the European Union, the United Kingdom remains a premier destination for European students aiming for a solid Anglo-Saxon education at a world-renowned university.
The quality of the Anglo-Saxon education system, the encouragement of creativity and integration into an international network represent a real added value to your course and multiply your employment prospects at the end of your studies.
Another attraction of the United Kingdom lies in its particularly vast choice of courses, whatever field you want to study in.
Since Brexit, international fees apply to European students, who must also complete additional procedures to obtain a visa.
At Expat Student, we work for you! There are no group meetings and all our appointments are one-to-one. Expat Student thus helps you to prepare a tailor-made application that is perfectly suited to your study plans, academic record and profile.
Expat Student's support consists of:
This advanced planning is particularly important if you wish to apply to the UK, given the application deadlines and specific requirements of these applications.
By starting to prepare your application early, we can help you plan a summer internship, extra reading or summer courses to confirm your choice and strengthen your application. You will also be able to take the language tests required by universities.
We understand that school and university students can be very busy with their studies and exam deadlines. We have a flexible schedule and arrange our appointments according to your availability. These appointments take place via video call in order to give students more time to focus on their current academic year.
Access to universities in the UK is via the UCAS platform – the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service. Students must use this platform to apply for Bachelor's degree courses at all universities. The admissions system, which is very different from the French Parcoursup system, appears extremely complex to foreign applicants. That is why we offer you our assistance throughout the entire admissions process.
Being an approved UCAS centre guarantees the professionalism of Expat Student’s support and assures UK universities of the quality of the applications submitted by Expat Student.
Certainly, and Expat Student is precisely there to help you choose the ones that match your profile and study plans.
Note that in some countries, the registration platform automatically limits you:
A large number of universities ask for it in your application pack, either as a cover letter (Personal Statement either in the form of a response to questions (Essay. In any case, it is a key element of your application, the one that will allow you to stand out from other candidates. It is your chance to stand out from the crowd. It is the moment for you to explain why you chose this course and to highlight your qualities, skills and experience, showing your keen interest in taking these classes. A glowing, impactful cover letter that truly reflects the student can make all the difference in securing an offer from the university.
All of them! Our initial mentoring sessions are there to help you define your choice of training course based on your project and your application. It is not uncommon for a student to adapt their project over the course of our support.
Of course. Oxford and Cambridge are two particularly selective universities, with earlier application deadlines (15th October). If you have an excellent academic record with very good predicted high school grades, we will help you build your application. The entrance exams and interviews for Oxford and Cambridge are very academic. We do not prepare for them ourselves, but we can point you towards preparation solutions.
Yes, we support students, who are increasingly numerous in wanting to apply to universities offering reputable healthcare courses in Spain, Portugal, Malta, Romania, Hungary, Croatia, etc.
«We chose Expat Student's support for two main reasons: the initial contact with Elisabeth and Louise, which was immediately very professional and reassuring, as well as the complementarity of their two backgrounds, combining a very strong knowledge of British universities, expectations, the UCAS procedure and the pathways available to young people in France as well, to put things into perspective.
We began our collaboration at the very start of Year 12, which allowed us to take our time, mature our thinking and our choices—always listened to and guided by Expat Student and their wise advice—to gain complementary experiences during the holidays and thus be able to highlight them when writing the personal statement.
This step is essential and remains a difficult exercise. Every skill, idea and experience is important and Expat Student helped us to extract the information to highlight in the cover letter in relation to our choice of study. We were also guided in obtaining the information necessary for putting together the application from the school in good time, as well as the reference letter from the tutor.
Our son got all 5 choices he made, certainly due to the quality of his application but also to the choice of universities in line with his level and preferences. We are waiting for the Bac results to definitively enrol him at UCL, Politics and International Relations.
Expat Student accompanied us (and continues to do so) over the past two years with the same availability, attentiveness, advice and objectivity, without ever deciding for us or influencing us. The decisions remained our own. A huge thank you to Elisabeth and Louise.
