www.i-studentenquiry.com
The i-student group that run the useful i-student advisor website (http://www.i-studentadvisor.com/) have launched a new free search service to help students find institutions and courses for further study.
Go to www.i-studentenquiry.com, select “undergraduate”. You are required to fill out a registration form detailing your academic results, the countries you would like to study in and the courses that interest you. i-studentequiry will then begin a search and the institutions that match your requirements will contact you directly. That means you must be prepared to get a lot of emails from the institutions.
This is a new service and there is no way of knowing the quality of the service until you try it. Please give me any feedback. Many students have found their other website (i-studentadvisor.com) useful.
