“Invaluable Help”
Your in-depth knowledge of the funding system proved invaluable in helping my son retain to his Home fee status. Your professionalism and personable manner were reassuring and reduced the stress and helplessness we were feeling. I have already been advising colleagues in a similar situation here to contact you, before they need to not afterwards like I did!

“Years of Experience”
Geraldine and Kate from UK Study Options are experts in their field. They have years of experience and a vast bank of knowledge to draw on as regards higher education applications and funding. Over the years I have sought their advice for my students where I felt their expertise could assist me in my role advising students. I have also referred students to them for Post Graduate applications and specialist funding advice. The students and their families have always been very pleased with their work and I know I can recommend them with the greatest of confidence.

“Invaluable Expertise”
Geraldine spoke at a seminar I hosted at the Capital Club Dubai on “The Significance of attaining Home Fee Status in the UK”. Having worked for 20 years with expatriates advising them on their personal finances, I know only too well the “minefield” this represents to parents working overseas when faced with the complexities of the UK system.
Geraldine proved to be an excellent choice. Her understanding of the University Entrance System and her experience advising clients on specific issues is a valuable resource to access when needed, and I have had no hesitation in recommending clients of mine facing these issues to her.
If you’re an employer with expats, an international school, or a parent with children hoping to study in the UK, Geraldine’s expertise could prove invaluable.

“Invaluable Advice”
UK Study Options give a presentation every year on UK University Fee Status at Jumeirah College, Dubai. I invite them to speak to parents as they are experts on the topic and the only people qualified to offer support on this in the region.
It is always a very informative and enlightening talk and they give invaluable advice on fee status which can help save families a lot of money.
There is a real need for this kind of support so we are always happy to have them attend our events such as the Higher Education Evening last month. We always get great feedback from the parents as it’s really beneficial to them and students who get advice on their Home/EU fee status eligibility.

“Excellent Feedback”
UK Study Options visit NAS Dubai every year to give a presentation on UK University Fee Status. They give invaluable advice to our parent body which can help families save a lot of money. Feedback from parents is always excellent they really appreciate the support and extensive knowledge that UK Study Options have in this area. They are experts on the topic and it’s really beneficial to our parents and students who don’t realise that they can lose their Home/EU fee status eligibility.

“Fantastic!”
The information that Geraldine and Wendy provided in advance of our campus tours and open days was fantastic. Entry requirements, course selection, resources are just some of the areas Charlotte discussed with Geraldine ahead of our university visits and this made our selection process easier. Charlotte and I were able to visit Universities armed with a list of questions and really got the most out of our visits.
It really would be great if other families could have the opportunity to discuss entry requirements and fee status with Geraldine when considering applications for UK universities.

“An Unlimited Approach”
We have been British expats for 8 years, and didn’t have a clue what perils, trials and tribulations our journey was taking us on as regards school and university education for our children. Over a period of 2 years we had various discussions with UKSO about the various possibilities open to us. It allowed us to develop a very flexible plan. For both the potential move we were to make to the USA, and our eventual return to the UK. Geraldine has an unlimited approach, just because the subject matter isn’t strictly within the field of graduate study options, doesn’t mean we didn’t discuss it. I would recommend her support to anyone; from those who, like us, really had no idea where to start to begin with up to those who do have an idea – but need very clear plans finalized to get the best for their kids.
