Why apply through UKEAS?

In order to answer this question you first need to ask yourself the following three questions:-

1. What do I stand to gain from applying by myself?
2. What do I stand to gain by applying through UKEAS?
3. Is it convenient for me to use the UKEAS Service?

We believe you will probably come up with the following answers:-

1. Apart from the satisfaction of having worked independently, you don't stand to gain anything from applying by yourself. In fact it may end up more expensive applying independently as you may have additional costs such as fax, telephone and email while contacting the universities which are provided free by UKEAS.
   
   
2. There are many benefits from using the UKEAS service. Here are some of them:-
   
   • It is free. It costs you no money to apply through UKEAS. You do not need to pay money nor are the fees you pay higher than if you applied yourself. There are no hidden costs and as you can see above, it may even be cheaper than applying yourself.
   • UKEAS check your completed application to make sure that there are no mistakes and it is complete so that it is not held up at the University.
   • UKEAS advise you upon your study plan and check the English to make sure that it is accurate. Your study plan is the only part of the application you can improve so you should take the best possible advice on this. Study plan services are free at UKEAS like all the rest of our services.
