We are a free, independent, expert service for students and have been helping people study in Australia and New Zealand for over 15 years. Hundreds of students apply through Study Options every year.
We offer advice and counselling to help you choose the right course, at the right university, and are then responsible for guiding you through the entire application process, from making an application to accepting an offer of place. We also provide free assistance with practicalities including student accommodation and student visas.
Study Options is the official representative of Australian and New Zealand universities in the UK, and aims to ensure that the application process is as straightforward and stress-free as possible for you. Study Options is the only organisation in the UK that focuses exclusively on Australian and New Zealand education.
