As a company, Kaplan has partnerships with more than 150 institutions around the world, including universities in the United Kingdom, the USA, Canada, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand. These partnerships don’t mean you will get into a university automatically, but it does mean that we can help you get in by supporting you through the application process.

Every Kaplan school has a UPS advisor to help you out with choosing a program and a university that will be right for you. The service can the give your application a much better chance of success by helping you prepare the right things and fill out the right forms.

Once you’ve chosen what you want to do and where you’re aiming to get in to, Kaplan will also help you prepare for the entrance exam that you’ll be taking. Because it has strong ties with these universities, the UPS can give you a better idea of what sorts of things you’ll need to prepare for each university.

As well as giving you pointers as to what you need to prepare for entrance exams, the UPS can also help you with the basic administration of the application process itself, making sure you get through each step without any issue. It will also help you pick out your next accommodation options for if you are accepted into the university of your choice.

Alongside this admin support, the UPS can also give you pointers on how to get your visa application sorted. As well as confirming when you might need a visa and what sort of visa you should be applying for, Kaplan can give you support in getting your documentation together and giving you pointers and advice on how to give your application the best chance possible.
