01 · Study abroad
International university guidance
For applicants comparing countries, universities and programmes outside their current education route.
Start the international routeHow the guidance process works
Know what happens before you send an enquiry.
Ready Study Global helps you clarify the route, compare realistic options and organise an application. Responsibilities, costs and independent decisions remain visible throughout.
We do not make admissions, funding or immigration decisions, and we cannot guarantee an outcome.
Choose the starting line
Three routes that should not be mixed together.
The questions, commercial model and decision-makers differ by route. Selecting the right one gives the first review better context.
02 · UK resident study
University routes for UK residents
For people living in the UK who want to understand realistic study and possible funding routes.

Online diploma guidance
For learners comparing paid online qualifications, current course information and progression questions.

Who decides what
Guidance is not the same as authority.
A transparent process separates what you control, what RSG can support and what only an independent organisation can decide.
Student responsibility
You
- Provide complete and accurate personal and academic information.
- Review the options and decide where you want to apply.

Before the first review
Useful information beats a long form.
You do not need every document before contacting RSG. A concise and accurate starting picture is more useful than guessing.
Do not send through the initial enquiry:
Identity documents, immigration documents, medical information, bank details or passwords.

Ready Study Global does not charge students a consultancy fee for university application guidance. Participating institutions or platforms may pay RSG a commission after an eligible student enrols.
Commission is not used as a ranking system. Options are considered against the student's profile, goals, budget, requirements and realistic fit.

Questions before you begin
The process, without hidden assumptions.
A specific provider or funding route may require additional checks.
How quickly will Ready Study Global reply?
We aim to respond within one working day. An automated acknowledgement is not counted as a human response, and complex research may require a later follow-up.
Does Ready Study Global charge a consultancy fee?
Ready Study Global does not charge students a consultancy fee for university application guidance. Tuition, deposits, tests, accommodation and other provider or third-party costs remain payable. Paid online qualifications are separate.
Will RSG guarantee that I am accepted?
No. Universities and course providers make admissions decisions. RSG can help you understand requirements and prepare an application, but it cannot guarantee admission, funding, a scholarship, a visa or another outcome.
Can RSG decide whether I receive Student Finance?
No. RSG can help you identify the official route and understand general published criteria. The relevant funding body decides eligibility, entitlement and payment.
Does RSG provide visa or immigration advice?
No. RSG can share general information and official sources, but it does not provide regulated immigration or legal advice.
Do I need every document before contacting RSG?
No. Start with the information you already have. Do not send identity, immigration, medical, banking or password information through an initial enquiry.
