Answers at any hour
Students plan at night and on weekends. The EF Assistant answers general questions instantly, so you are never stuck waiting for office hours.
Human counsellors. Always-on answers.
Studying abroad is a big decision with a lot of small steps. EF Consultancy gives you an assistant that never clocks out, and introduces you to counsellors who handle the steps with you.
Application help from experienced counsellors
Counsellors at our partner consultancy shortlist courses that match your grades and goals, then work through each application with you: statements, references, documents and the conditions on your offer.
Visa support from the partner's advisers
Visa files are where small mistakes cost the most, so visa support comes from our partner consultancy's advisers, not from EF Consultancy. Our guides explain the general rules and link to the official sources.
Scholarships, explained
Our scholarship guide lists major government and university awards with links to the official pages. Your counsellor can help you check which ones fit your profile.
Ready before you fly
Your counsellor can brief you on accommodation, money, weather and what to pack before you go, so the first week feels manageable.
Help after you land.
The EF Assistant is still there after the airport, and your counsellor can help with your first weeks, including:
- Opening a bank account
- Understanding the academic system
- Registering with a doctor
- Using university support services
- Finding transport links
- Meeting other students
And thinking about your career.
A degree abroad is a step toward work you want. Your counsellor can help you with:
- Building your CV for local employers
- Preparing for interviews
- Finding internships and part-time work
- Understanding post-study work visas
Make your next step the right one.
Tell us a little about your plans. With your permission we pass them to our partner consultancy, and a counsellor contacts you. The consultation is free.
