Comprehensive Guidance

Our phases are designed to meet students’ needs regardless of where they are in their journey.

If you are just starting, looking to discover what universities and programs might be a good fit for you, and/or haven’t applied to any universities yet, then the Discover phase is right for you.

If you are certain about the universities you want to apply to and are ready to begin crafting your applications, then the Apply phase is right for you.

If you have already been admitted to a university and are preparing paperwork for visas, nostrification, and other official processes, the Prepare phase is right for you.

And if you have submitted your visa application and are navigating the logistical tasks of moving, like finding housing, banking internationally, and booking flights, then the Relocate phase is perfect for you.

You can book each phase individually with no obligation to continue to the next. Or you can book all four phases at once for a discount.

If you’re feeling unsure, schedule a free 15-minute Kickstart call (code: KICKSTART) with one of our available advisors to match you with the right phase.

We assist higher education students from bachelor's to PhD.

This includes:

• Bachelor’s

• Integrated Master’s (Bachelor & Master combined program)

• Master’s (1-year & 2-year)

• Advanced Master’s

• Diplomas (graduate & postgraduate)

• Bridging/preparatory programs

• PhD

Our specialization is in long-term studies for degree-seeking students. This involves being abroad for a minimum of one academic year.

We do not support short-term study abroad programs (9 months or less).

There is no predetermined amount of time that a phase may last. Each students’ timeline is different and requires different needs addressed. Therefore, we allow each student to remain in their phase until they are ready to move on to the following phase.

One example may be a high school student who begins Phase 1: Discover during their sophomore or junior year of high school to begin exploring education in Europe and learning about different education and career pathways before moving on to Phase 2: Apply during their senior year.

On the other end of the spectrum could be an adult student seeking to go back to school in the fall to get their master’s degree. They may also start Phase 1: Discover in February but moving quickly on to Phase 2: Apply by March and complete all four phases in about 6-months.

Your lead advisor serves as your mentor and main contact at Skola. You will spend the most time working with this advisor, and they will manage your file.

Throughout the duration of your package, you will work with different advisors depending on your needs and which team member is best suited to assist at that moment. So don’t worry about missing the opportunity to meet any of Skola’s amazing team members!

You may choose your lead advisor based on the countries they have lived in, the universities they attended, their specializations, or who you identify with most. We recommend exploring our advisors’ pages to get to know our team and their experience a bit better.

Keep in mind, not all Skola advisors are available to take on the position of lead advisor due to time and capacity. Student trainee advisors cannot be lead advisors.

If you are uncertain of who to choose, schedule a free 20-minute Kickstart call (code: KICKSTART) to meet with one of Skola’s lead advisors or be recommended your best match.

That’s okay! Moving abroad is a big decision.

If you want to take the first step with less commitment, schedule a free 20-minute Kickstart call (code: KICKSTART) to discuss your first steps with zero-commitment. For more in-depth help, book a 1-1 advisory session with any of our advisors to answer your most pressing questions.
