How does a 1:1 consultation work?
It is a free online session of about 30 minutes with a Nexus-Edu mentor, a full-scholarship alumnus (EM Scholarship Holder). The mentor listens to your goals first, then shares suitable directions.
Information to prepare
- The country and level you are interested in (Bachelor's or Master's).
- Your intended major or field you like.
- Transcripts and English certificates (if you have them).
- Your family's expected budget.
- Your plan after graduation (further study, work or returning home).
Suggested questions
- With my current profile, which countries suit me?
- What should I improve over the next 6–12 months?
- Which scholarships are worth considering?
- What is the visa process and timeline?
- What are the estimated costs for each option?
After the consultation
You will have an initial direction and clear next steps. Any further service is quoted transparently in writing before you commit.
Information to prepare before the session
- Current academic standing: average grades, strong subjects and language test results if any.
- Goals: level of study, majors of interest and countries under consideration.
- Estimated yearly budget and the family's financial capacity.
- Extracurriculars, awards or standout experiences.
- Planned start date.
Suggested questions for the mentor
Ask specific things such as: given my current profile, what strengths should I build on and what weaknesses should I improve? Which country best fits my budget and goals? What are the key milestones in the next 6–12 months? Which scholarships should I consider? The more specific the question, the more useful the answer.
What to do after the session
Write down the action items with deadlines, research further on the official websites of universities and immigration authorities, and compare with advice from other sources. A good session gives you a clear next direction; it should not push you to decide on the spot.
