How to start your university application with QS

Where you choose to study is one of the most important decisions you can make, potentially dictating everything from your future career to the friends you’ll keep your entire life. Yet, once you’ve finally chosen a university, the admissions process can often be challenging, time-consuming and full of unexpected obstacles. This is why many applicants choose to use an education counsellor as part of their application journey. 

QS's study abroad consultants can guide you through different types of study destinations and institutions that would fit your budget, interests, and goals. Instead of reviewing thousands of study options we can pick a few that would fit you. 

With our help, you can apply to hundreds of the best and affordable universities around the world. 

How does it work? 

While there might be one university you’re particularly keen to attend, we know there are likely to be several on your shortlist which you need to apply for.  

Whereas this would usually mean having to fill out several individual applications, with QS all you need to do is fill out one, simple application and you’ll receive customised support from our study abroad consultants in choosing and entering a university of your dreams. 

Our education counsellors can support you during the entire admissions process, ensuring you know exactly what you need to get accepted, study, and live comfortably in a new place. 

In case you need additional support with the admissions process, our study abroad consultants can also assist with tutoring, applying for a scholarship and visa applications. We also help you arrange your travel, so everything is set up and ready for you on campus. 

Which universities can I apply to with QS? 

We have partnered with hundreds of schools, colleges, and universities in Europe, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, UAE and Turkey.
