You may think to yourself, “why use an education consultancy? Surely it would be easier to apply on my own?” However, after reading the reasons mentioned below, most people will probably come to the following conclusion; “Why bother applying on your own and have all the trouble that goes with it when GetSet can do it for you!”
GetSet is a free and impartial education service dedicated to helping Taiwan students achieve their goals in overseas study in the UK. Why pay when GetSet can help you with our free comprehensive service? This includes face to face counseling, editing of application materials including study plan, resume and references by a native English speaker.
GetSet believes in supplying students with accurate and up to date information on all aspects of life and study in the UK. GetSet students will find that they are not just a number that needs to be processed as quickly as possible before moving on to the next. Our experienced and patient counseling staff will always have time to spend with the students to make sure that all the information is fully understood and that the institutions to which the students apply are the most suitable choices. Our counselors will not just give lists of institutions that offer the subject in which the student is interested but will spend time explaining the many and varied courses to make sure students can focus only on the universities that are of interest to them and that they have a realistic chance of entering. In this way students have a greater chance of receiving offers, in fact, the percentage of successful GetSet applications is over 90% and 100% of GetSet students will receive offers.
GetSet will assist students in applying to any institution in the UK. This includes top universities like Oxford and Cambridge. We have offer letters from all UK universities at our centres that students can request to see if they so desire.
Many GetSet students have been successful at obtaining scholarships. This is because GetSet can give advice as to what should be written in a scholarship application. GetSet has a long record and a lot of experience when it comes to helping students apply for scholarships.
GetSet is not just an application centre. We will continue to help you all the way through the application process and beyond. This includes; help in selecting the final destination, presessional language application, accommodation application, visa application and airline ticket booking.
GetSet keeps in regular contact with all the institutions in the UK. This includes keeping track of applications and chasing universities for decisions. All our centres use Skype which means that it is very easy for us to make phone calls to the UK on a daily basis at very little cost. Students can also track their application status via the GetSet website by entering their user name and password students.
GetSet has a UK office co-managed by British and Taiwanese people. This not only means that students already in the UK can still receive a professional service but also students that applied through a Taiwan GetSet Centre can continue to receive support when they are in the UK.
GetSet Students get FREE gifts. GetSet students that go to the UK will receive a free International Student ID card (this enables discounted air tickets) and a free Mook UK travel guide. In addition to this we also provide a discounted phone/sim card package to students. This enables students to phone home as soon as they arrive in the UK at a cheap rate.
GetSet processes student visas and gives advice to students that prefer to put in their own applications in person. Applying for a visa with the wrong or missing documents can cost students several unnecessary trips to the visa handling unit. In some extreme cases, where students have received wrong information at the hands of less knowledgeable consultants, it can lead to an unnecessary interview and refusal of a visa.
GetSet students are carefully prepared for Life and study in the UK. Because all our counselors have studied in the UK they all know exactly what problems new students are likely to face when arriving in the UK. GetSet counsellors will give the student the best preparation for the UK through pre-departure briefings. These include information on things such as weather, eating, shopping, travel, health, opening a bank account and culture shock to name but a few.
