Who we are, what we do

Study Options is a free, independent, expert service for people looking to study in Australia or New Zealand. We’re not talking about exchange programmes, but rather the chance to do a full university or college course on the other side of the world. 

Choosing a course - information and advice
If you don’t know anything about the universities in Australia or New Zealand, or aren’t sure which ones offer the subject you’re interested in, just contact us. Study Options has degree lists for hundreds of areas. Each lists all the degrees available in a subject, as well as giving details of course content, entry requirements and tuition fees. Let us know if you’d like some help deciding - we offer free counselling to help you choose which universities and courses are right for you.

Getting hold of the paperwork - application forms and a document checklist
Once you’ve decided where you want to apply, let us know and we’ll send you the application forms and a checklist of the supporting documents needed, plus details of any relevant deadlines.

Making an application - apply through Study Options 
Ready to go? Submit your applications to our team in London. We check them to make sure everything is complete and correct before sending them off to the universities for assessment. If your documents need certifying, we’ll do it for free during checking.

Getting an answer - our students get priority
We’re the official UK and Irish representative for universities and colleges throughout Australia and New Zealand, which means you’ll get an answer more quickly than if you applied directly - applications sent via our office are fast-tracked through the admissions process. We also reduce any risk of being rejected because of a mistake on the application form, or queries about your academic background. If the universities need more information or want to question something, they will contact us for clarification, so you get a chance to explain whatever the issue is. We also come in useful if you have a last-minute change of heart about your course choice, or when you want to start - we’ll liaise with the university or college for you to sort it out.

We guide you through every step of the process
As soon as you have an offer of place, we’ll help with the paperwork of accepting a place and organise getting the vital documents to the right people, thus removing the risk of any important paperwork going astray. We will also send you the forms you’ll need to apply for a student visa and can answer all your questions about that process too.

If you have any questions – about anything to do with the application process, the course, or being an overseas student – just call or send us an email.
