We have been working with UKEC for almost 10 years, and it has been a very positive experience. We find UKEC to be very responsive - as our needs change our objectives and targets also change. We have found that in these instances, UKEC does listen to us and work well with us.
I think the advantage for the student in using UKEC is all about being able to talk to somebody who understands their situation, understands their culture, understands their language, and understands what it’s like to be a student in the UK. UKEC can take students through the whole process right from the first moment of thinking about a university through to starting the programme and maybe beyond to making sure that students are comfortable. For the University of Bath that means we have someone we trust can to look after the student and university for us.
UKEC has a good network across the UK, so wherever a student is, it is probably not very far from a UKEC office. UKEC are very well-located in a lot of the main university centres. Students also appreciate the personal approach offered by UKEC, in which they get very honest and supportive advice.
