World Students Advisors


We're delighted you've chosen World Students Advisors, and we look forward to welcoming you and supporting you through every step of your student journey.


The student journey is the end-to-end sequence of all the interactions with
World
Students Advisors.


The starting point is helping you choose the best university that meets your career aspirations. To help you achieve this, you will have your own World Student Advisors Application Manager. Who is a real human being, not a recorded message, press buttons 1 or 2 and so on, eventually leading you to a website for frequently asked questions? 



World Students Advisors pride themselves on providing excellent high-quality personal service.


Your Application Manager will manage your university application which is not complicated. Still, like anything, if you are doing this for the first time, there are bound to be a few questions. Sit back and relax; your  Application Manager will do this for you.

Your Application Manager will proofread the Personal Statement and recommend some modifications if required. Your academic qualifications will be cross-referenced against the university's entry requirements to make sure you meet the standard. CV, references and all documents will be checked to ensure the application is sent to the university with all requirements. The response to the application is delayed if it is submitted partially complete; universities respond faster if it contains all of the required documentation. 

If you agree, we will set up a WhatsApp group including you, your Application Manager and anyone else you may wish to add, for example, a parent, guardian, friend or sponsor. The WhatsApp group is easy to create but valuable for a quick question or a call if you have any concerns.

The university will send you a CONDITIONAL OFFER. It is doubtful that they will reject your application as your Application Manager will ensure that you meet entry requirements and all documentation is in order. The two primary conditions are to accept the course offered and pay a deposit.


As a matter of policy, World Students Advisors do not receive money from students, and you will pay the university directly. 


Once you have met the conditions of your conditional offer, your status changes to UNCONDITIONAL OFFER.

The final stage is applying for a Tier 4 UK visa (we manage visas for other countries, but the principles are similar no matter which country we will use the UK for this example).


UK Visa Immigration is known by the acronym UKVI.  UK Visas and Immigration is a division of the Home Office responsible for the United Kingdom's visa system.


UK universities have to work within the guidelines and rules stipulated by UKVI. 

You have to prove to the UK University that you have sufficient funds to study for the first academic year of your course comprising of two components, tuition fees and living expenses. 

On our website, we have a dedicated page explaining the Tier 4 Student Visa process; we recommend that you read this https://www.worldstudentadvisors.com/uk-student-visa-advice 


You have to produce a bank statement in your name or parent that has been in credit for 28 days comprising the tuition fee minus and deposit plus the UKVI living allowance. You are required to have a TB test at a recognised test centre. The university will ask you to complete a questionnaire and provide bank statements before issuing a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS letter).


Once you have your CAS letter, you can now apply for a Tier 4 Student Visa. We will do this for you, and all the time, your Application Manager is supporting you through these processes.

In addition to the visa cost, you will pay a Health Surcharge, which gives you access to the UK world's well-renowned National Health System, including registering with a local doctor.

As part of the online visa application, you will book an appointment to attend a Visa Application Centre https://www.gov.uk/find-a-visa-application-center in person to submit your documents and have your biometric information was taken (fingerprints and photograph).

The visa application requires you to a state where your university accommodation is. All the universities have extensive accommodation facilities, which can be booked online.

Sometimes UKVI asks to interview the student, and universities may ask for an interview during the pre-CAS stage.


We will arrange a mock interview through Zoom if either or both are requested. We have found that this works wonders for the student and gives them the confidence and experience to succeed.

We like to leave the best news until last, and World Student Advisors do not charge for their services, including support to apply for one Tier 4 Student Visa. Suppose the student wishes to take a spouse or children with them. We always advise the student to travel alone to start with and settle into their studies and the new environment and then bring over spouse and children. We have had several cases where this has worked to the student's family's advantage.
