I really don’t understand what’s going on in these forums. Everyone is arguing, making outrageous claims yet hardly anyone is actually talking about the topic in hand.
I like many on this forum am looking to study in Europe, however because you can’t tell who’s actually a student and who’s advertising their recruitment agency, these forums are proving quite useless which is a real shame.
Here is my advice to people looking to apply, firstly get in touch with the universities in question directly, ask them any outstanding questions you have and most importantly ask them who their UK representatives are. This will confirm any doubts about doggy agencies you have.
Finally this is a huge decision for everyone, it will affect the rest of your life so the best piece of advice I can give you guys is visit the university you are interested in, look at the facilities, talk to lecturers and try to meet with current students out there face to face. It would be crazy to commit to a university without even visiting it.
Good luck!
