Entrance to universities worldwide 


The University Guidance Counsellor assists pupils with the university application process and is available to meet with parents and pupils to explain the process. We can advise on application deadlines, admission requirements and admissions testing. Our staff provide letters of recommendation, references, grade predictions and academic transcripts to support the application process. 
 
The University Guidance Counsellor works in conjunction with the Academic Team, thereby ensuring that pupils’ and parents’ aspirations for university destinations are understood and appropriate by providing regular guidance. 
 
Many pupils at St. George’s International School progress to excellent universities. Our University Guidance Counsellor has formed personal contacts with many of the world’s leading universities, allowing for direct communication and rapid information exchange, which greatly assists the process of researching opportunities. 
 
We provide information on a wide range of universities and are regularly visited by university representatives who give presentations to our pupils. Pupils have numerous opportunities to meet with admissions representatives and learn more about the programmes of study, admission requirements, and facilities that are available at universities around the world. 
 
St. George’s International School holds an on-campus Annual University Fair, which hosts representatives from over 60 universities across the globe, giving our pupils and their parents the perfect platform to explore opportunities for future study.
