Universe Group Student Cases
Azizaxon
I wanted to apply for a master's degree at the University of Liverpool, which has a rating of #147 according to QS Ranking.
She chose the MSc Financial Technology program. Her tuition fee was £32,500. She also chose Northumbria University of London, with a QS Ranking of #550, as an alternative.
Azizahon really wanted to go to Liverpool, but the contract was too big.
We then decided to try to get a 50% discount. This required the student to have a high GPA, and we had to write a strong essay on the topic "Why should I receive this discount?"
We learned about her experience and life situations in detail, and based on all of this, we wrote the text that was sent in the discount request.
We were able to successfully secure a 50% grant for our student at one of the top universities in the Russell Group – the University of Liverpool.
Sayidakbar
A student came to us on September 2nd with the desire to study in the UK. Studies at the university began on September 15th (orientation week).
The situation seemed hopeless, but we decided to make every effort. The application was submitted to the university that same day. We contacted the university's representatives, admissions, and visa departments, asking them to expedite all processes and extend the deadline for our student.
As a result, the student applied for a visa on September 16th. Negotiations with the university were ongoing daily, with requests to wait for the student. And in early October, the student received his visa and flew to the UK to successfully begin his studies.
Guzalkhon
Guzalkhon (29) wanted to study for a master's degree in the UK, but she also wanted to take her husband (31) and four-year-old daughter with her. We were able to find them a university near London that cost just £23,000 for two years. This means each year of her master's degree will cost her £11,500.
Guzalkhon successfully enrolled in university and received a student visa. Her husband and daughter received dependent visas and flew to the UK with her.
Khaydar
The student was 28 years old when he applied for a bachelor's degree. Besides his age, his study gap was already nine years. Despite all this, we were able to place him on a three-year bachelor's degree in the UK, at the University of Hertfordshire, and he is currently studying and very happy with his studies.
