University admissions
It is essential that students have the chance to explore and recognise their skills and potential, and to understand what makes them feel fulfilled.
Our University Guidance Team provides all the information, support and guidance students need to make the right decision about their future academic or career journey.

Students have access to one-to-one guidance with a dedicated counsellor to help them decide which course and higher education establishment best fits them, including understanding different countries application systems such as UCAS, Common App, OUAC and many more. Guidance on preparing personal statements, college essays, mock interviews, and moral support are all provided to students throughout the process.
IIS welcomes a range of worldwide university representatives throughout the year and attends conferences and keynotes to advocate on behalf of our students. Our dedicated counsellors go in search of new and interesting degrees and scholarship opportunities in our ever changing educational environment.
