Common Questions
Quick answers for busy backbenchers.
Can average students really get scholarships?
Yes! Many scholarships look for leadership, community involvement, or specific talents rather than just a 4.0 GPA. We focus on finding these 'holistic' opportunities.
Do I need a high GPA to study in Europe?
While top universities are competitive, many excellent public universities in countries like Germany, Italy, and Hungary accept students with moderate grades if they meet other requirements.
Is IELTS mandatory for all universities?
Not always. Some universities accept MOI (Medium of Instruction) certificates if your previous education was in English, though IELTS/TOEFL is still the safest bet for visa purposes.
