Why Use Study Options?

We asked current students this question (being much too modest to comment ourselves, obviously). Here are the three main things that came back...

1. Study Options is a completely free service! (Yes, really. It's because we are funded by the universities we represent to help students on their behalf)

2. Study Options is an independent company. This is really important to us - if we weren't independent, how could you trust our advice? We don’t benefit from sending you to one place above another, so will give you an honest, impartial opinion about any university, course or city you ask us about. We visit all the universities we work with at least once a year, so our information is always completely up-to-date.

3. The team at Study Options are really knowledgeable, very helpful, and easy to get hold of. This was the bit we were too modest to say for ourselves, but it's a very nice compliment that we aim to live up! You can rest assured we don’t use call centres or automated emails, so whenever you contact Study Options you’ll get a personal answer from one of the team. Everyone here has got direct experience of everything involved with studying abroad. Study Options is run by Stefan Watts and Sarah Nash. Stefan was a British international student in Australia (he studied at the University of Newcastle, NSW) while Sarah used to run the International Admissions team at VUW in Wellington, New Zealand. Everyone on the team has either studied or worked in Australia or New Zealand.
