Questions about applying to universities abroad with QS?

Yes! Our study abroad service is 100% free for students. We’re funded by our partner universities when students successfully enrol, so you get expert support at no cost. 

QS offers free, expert-led study-abroad consultations – no hidden charges or high agency fees. Our team includes experienced enrolment managers, and we partner with 450+ global universities, helping more than 39,000 students successfully secure admission to their dream university. 

If you're an international student planning to study abroad in 2026 or 2027, you’re eligible. We work with applicants from all academic backgrounds and help match you to the programmes that fit your goals and profile. 

Don't worry! We support students across all academic profiles. Our expert counsellors know which universities value different strengths and will help highlight your unique qualities, achievements and potential. 

Most students complete the journey from consultation to acceptance in 6–8 months. Starting early is the best way to increase your admission and scholarship chances, so we recommend beginning as soon as possible. 

While we can't guarantee acceptance (no ethical consultant can), our proven track record shows the quality of our guidance. We carefully match students to universities where they have the best chance of success. 

We work with universities in the USA, UK, Europe, Canada, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, Singapore, and Malaysia. Our counsellors will help identify the best destinations based on your academic goals, budget and career plans. 

Absolutely! Scholarship assistance is a core part of our service. We help you identify opportunities and optimise your applications. Our students have collectively secured millions of dollars in scholarship funding through our guidance. 

We provide comprehensive visa support including document preparation, interview coaching, and step-by-step guidance throughout the entire visa application process to help you feel confident and prepared. 

Yes, we recommend applying to 5-8 universities to maximise your chances. We'll help you build a balanced list of reach, target and safety schools aligned with your goals. 

Within 24 hours, one of our regional experts will contact you to schedule your free consultation. During your session, we'll discuss your goals, assess your profile, and create a personalised study abroad action plan. 

After your initial consultation, you'll have direct access to your assigned counsellor via email, WhatsApp, and scheduled video calls – ensuring continuous support throughout your application journey.
