Frequently Asked Questions
Honest answers from our Dubai counsellors. No pressure. No sales pitch.
Stanford Global is a Dubai-based education consultancy with more than 4 years of experience guiding UAE students through international university applications. Our counsellors manage shortlisting, SOPs, applications and visa paperwork for the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, Germany, Ireland and more.
For most countries, we recommend starting 9 to 12 months before your intended intake. UK universities have UCAS deadlines as early as October for Oxford and Cambridge, and January for most others — starting early gives you time for a strong SOP, documents and scholarship deadlines.
No. Your first 30-minute career and country counselling session at our Dubai office (or on video call) is completely free. We only discuss fees once we've understood your profile and recommended a plan.
Yes. We work with universities at every tier — from top-50 globally to pathway, foundation and conditional offer routes. We'll be honest about what's realistic and build a backup list so you still secure a strong offer.
