Students’ & Parents’ Guide

Updated: 29 October 2026

Make the decision together

Discuss academic interests, independence, wellbeing and the family’s budget. Agree on priorities and compare a small number of realistic options rather than choosing on rankings alone.

Create a comparison sheet

Record the course title, awarding institution, campus, teaching language, duration, tuition, living costs and admission conditions. For regulated professions, add licensing and internship requirements.

Review every commitment

Read the offer, service agreement, accommodation contract and refund conditions. Keep receipts and use verified payment channels. Ask questions before paying if a condition is unclear.

Plan for arrival

Prepare insurance, emergency contacts, document copies and a realistic first-month budget. Research university wellbeing and disability support, registration requirements and local transport.

Stay informed without taking over

Agree on how often to check in and when a student should seek help. Encourage the student to use the university’s academic and wellbeing services and maintain access to their own records.
