Start with your why
Think about what you want from your next course: a deeper understanding of a subject, a change in direction or a particular professional goal. Write down what matters most to you.
Bring your academic picture
Have a summary of your qualifications, grades, work experience and any language tests you have taken. You can discuss your profile before sharing sensitive documents.
Set a realistic budget
Consider tuition alongside accommodation, transport and everyday expenses. Ask what costs are included in any quotation and what you will need to budget for separately.
Keep your shortlist open
You do not need to arrive with a final country or institution. A consultation can help you compare options and identify the information still needed.
Leave with next steps
Ask for a clear list of documents, information to confirm and decisions to make. Admission decisions are made by institutions; a consultation is a starting point, not a guarantee.
