WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY

My studies at UEL have been amazing, as I have made a lot of friends from different backgrounds and cultures. Qualified, skilled and professional staff are playing an important role in my studies. They've assisted me in accessing professional knowledge and development within the architecture industry, to be employable in the future. This is beyond what I even expected and has really set the bar for me."

MEET YOUR REPRESENTATIVE

ABOUT ME - Patrick Douse, Senior Regional Manager

I'm Patrick and I've spent most of my life gaining valuable life experience through my travels. I cannot advocate how much this has enriched my life and how many students I've seen enrich theirs and reach heights of success, through their choice to pursue a degree in abroad. The amazing thing about UEL is that everyone get's assigned a guide, so you never have to consider these big decisions alone.

Completing an application is one thing, but what happens next? How do you apply for housing, scholarships, possibly a visa? What do you need to consider when studying abroad? Don't worry, I'm here to help you take it step-by-step and anytime you need me, I'll only be a call or an email away!
