Why Edu Bird

Guidance you can actually hold us to.

Choosing where to study is one of the biggest financial and personal decisions a family makes. It deserves more than a brochure and a deposit deadline.

  • One counsellor, start to finish. The person who assesses your profile is the person who sees your visa through. No being handed between desks.
  • Advice before commission. If a country or course is a poor fit for your profile or budget, we will say so — even when it is the easier one to place you in.
  • Documentation done properly. Most rejections come down to paperwork. We are careful with it, because that is where applications are actually won or lost.
  • Support that outlasts the visa. Landing is the halfway point. We stay reachable through registration, accommodation and the first weeks of term.

What we do

Everything between deciding and landing.

Eight services that cover the whole journey — not just the application form.

Career Counselling

We start with you, not a brochure. A structured session on your marks, budget, interests and long-term plan, so every recommendation that follows has a reason behind it.

Course & University Selection

A realistic shortlist matched to your academic record and budget — ambitious choices, solid choices and a safe choice, with the entry requirements for each spelled out.

Test Preparation

Coaching and practice for IELTS, PTE, TOEFL and the Duolingo English Test, plus GRE and GMAT guidance where your course needs it.

Application & Documentation

Statement of purpose, letters of recommendation, transcripts and CV — drafted, reviewed and submitted on time, with every portal deadline tracked for you.

Visa Guidance

Document checklists, financial-proof preparation and mock interviews so your application goes in complete and you walk in ready.

Scholarships & Education Loans

We identify the scholarships you are actually eligible for and help assemble the paperwork banks and lenders ask for.

Pre-Departure Briefing

Forex, insurance, accommodation, packing and what daily life will really cost — covered before you board, not after.

Post-Arrival Support

Airport pickup coordination, help with registration and bank accounts, and a number you can still call once you have landed.

Courses

Fields we place students in.

From engineering and nursing to hospitality and law — if you are unsure which direction fits your marks and interests, that is exactly what the first session is for.

STEP 02

Country & course shortlist

A ranked shortlist of universities and programmes that fit your profile, with fees, intakes and entry requirements side by side.

STEP 03

STEP 04

Offer & acceptance

We review each offer with you, explain the conditions, and guide the deposit and acceptance steps.

Visa filing & interview prep

Financial documents, the full checklist and mock interviews until your answers are clear and consistent.

Forex, insurance, accommodation and airport pickup — plus someone to call during your first weeks abroad.

Not sure which country is right for you?

Bring your marks, your budget and your questions. The first session is free, and you will leave it with a realistic shortlist rather than a sales pitch.

Questions

Frequently asked

When should I start planning for a study-abroad application?

Around 9 to 12 months before your intended intake. That leaves comfortable room for your English test, document preparation, application deadlines and visa processing. It is still worth talking to us on a shorter timeline — we will tell you straight away which intake is realistic.

Do I need IELTS to apply?

Most universities ask for proof of English, and IELTS is the most widely accepted. PTE, TOEFL and the Duolingo English Test are recognised by many institutions too, and some accept your Class 12 English marks or run their own internal test. The requirement depends on the university and country, so we confirm it per shortlist rather than assuming.

What does it cost to study abroad?

Tuition and living costs vary widely by country and city — Germany’s public universities sit at one end of the range and the UK, Australia and Switzerland at the other. We build a full estimate for your shortlist covering tuition, living costs, insurance and travel, so you are comparing real totals.

Can I apply with academic backlogs or a study gap?

Often, yes. Different universities take different views, and a gap that is explained well — work, family responsibility, further study — is not automatically a problem. Bring your actual transcripts to the counselling session and we will tell you which options are genuinely open.

Will you help me find scholarships and education loans?

Yes. We identify the merit and country-specific scholarships you are eligible for, and help you assemble the documentation that banks and NBFCs ask for on education loans, including collateral and co-applicant paperwork.

Can I work while I study?

Most study destinations allow international students to work a limited number of hours during term, with more permitted in vacations. The exact limits and any post-study work options are set by each country’s immigration authority and do change, so we go through the current rules for your destination during counselling rather than relying on a figure printed on a website.

What happens if my visa is refused?

We go through the refusal reasons with you, correct what can be corrected and advise on reapplying or on a deferral to the next intake. Getting the file right the first time is the whole point of the document and interview preparation we do.

Is the first consultation really free?

Yes. The profile assessment and the initial counselling session cost you nothing, and there is no obligation to proceed afterwards.
