School Placement Services
Studying abroad is becoming more and more popular, and for good reason – 97% of students who study abroad find employment within a year of graduation. Furthermore, 90% get accepted to their first and second choice grad schools. Opportunities regarding career and further education are plentiful, and so, many students dream of attending colleges and universities abroad.
In 2017, there were more than 5.3 million international students recorded in the U.S., UK, Germany, Australia, France, and Russia. This included students from China, Germany, France, Nigeria, the Republic of Korea, Saudi Arabia, India, and several Central Asian countries.
Siotoh Global Mobility’s school placement services cater to many different students and their needs, depending on why they are going to study abroad and their individual requirements. The three common types of students we see are English as a Second Language (ESL) students, undergraduate students, and graduate students.
English as a Second Language (ESL) Students
These students enroll in short-term language courses and apply to different language schools and ESL departments throughout the year. Since these courses have flexible dates, English as a Second Language students can start at any date.
While many dream of attending school abroad, they’re unable to do so because of how complex and time-consuming the application and visa processes can be. SGM aims to make these processes as easy as possible – we can help with everything from finding suitable language schools or courses to preparing the documents required for applications.
If students wish to continue education abroad after their language program has ended, SGM can help narrow down potential schools and reduce the stress associated with the complexity of admissions procedures. Thus, we facilitate a smooth transition from language programs to college degree programs.
Undergraduate Students
Hundreds of thousands of students go abroad for their undergraduate studies. This is mostly because of the high standard of education foreign universities pride themselves on. These applications are considerably more complicated than ESL program applications and require careful planning and execution.
With no margin for error, students are stressed and may need outside help – this is where SGM steps in. We provide a comprehensive service that covers everything from school selection to individual applications. With our help, students can look forward to their time abroad and mentally prepare themselves for it instead of constantly being anxious about application deadlines.
Graduate Students
We offer comprehensive consulting services for graduate students as well. Even though most graduate students are well aware of the requirements and procedures involved, we offer full or partial services to make this process easier for them.
SGM’s Services
No matter the requirements, Siotoh Global Mobility can take care of every individual student’s needs. We don’t believe in generic consulting – our consultations are personalized to each student and vary depending on their needs.
Admission counseling usually starts with an initial interview following an extensive questionnaire, where we help clients create road maps and list their needs. We then use this information to narrow down specific schools and requirements and look at different scholarship options.
SGM is with clients every step of the way, from helping them with personal statements and resumes to test preparation and obtaining reference letters. Upon admission to the school of choice, SGM can even provide visa processing services. We are a one-stop shop for global mobility – no matter your requirements, you can trust us to take care of them.
