Before studying abroad, just picking an intermediary can force out the student's choice difficulty syndrome: Internet celebrity agents with advertisements everywhere, cutting-edge online study abroad agents, large-scale traditional and established agents, and one-stop high-end customized study abroad agents. Countless gimmicks and names make students and parents pick and choose every minute.
In order to more intuitively show the comprehensive level of intermediaries, we quantify all indicators, and the evaluation is divided into three major items and six sub-items, each with a score of 1-10, which are scored by the study abroad industry, prospective international students, and students who have completed the application, and calculate the final average score. The specific contents of the investigation are as follows:
1) Influence - mainly examine the brand scale and institutional reputation of the intermediary. Including the company's qualifications, scale, **** degree, as well as online and offline student evaluations and intermediary reputation.
2) Professionalism - mainly examines the case experience and document quality of the intermediary. Including the sense of responsibility of the consultant, the control of the application process, the familiarity with the application conditions, the successful cases of high-end colleges and universities in the past, as well as the level of documents, whether it can be customized, etc.
3) Service--mainly inspect the consulting experience and follow-up service of the intermediary. In addition to the basic application steps, contract terms, and refund process, it is also necessary to see whether you can provide students with one-stop study abroad services, such as the completeness of follow-up services abroad.
When choosing an education agent, you should pay attention to its reputation.
Reputation is an aspect that everyone should pay attention to when choosing a study abroad agency, and the institutions that can provide the most powerful help when applying are often the institutions with a good reputation for students. After selecting a few majors to be an agent in a certain country, you can search for the student reputation of these study abroad agents on the Internet; There are still a lot of false advertisements on the Internet, and I had a small strategy when I looked at students' word of mouth, I didn't look at which institution was good, I came the other way, and it was often more rewarding to search for bad reviews. You can search for xx black intermediaries, or bad reviews of such and such intermediaries, so that it is easier to come up with valuable search results.
It is difficult for everyone to be satisfied with the services of an institution, but if there are many complaints from students, it is necessary to choose carefully.
Check the reputation before choosing a study abroad agent, which can be searched according to the country or directly enter the name of the institution.

When choosing a study abroad agency, the first thing to look at is whether the agent has the qualifications to study abroad. If you choose a "black intermediary" without qualifications, not only will there be a greater risk of problems, but it will also be difficult to protect the rights and interests of consumers, and it will delay the student's application for studying abroad.

It is not recommended to go to Ireland.
There are several reasons to study abroad:
1. Compared with other study abroad countries, Ireland's tuition fees and living expenses are more expensive than those in Russia, the Netherlands, Greece, Switzerland and other countries.
In general, national universities.
The annual tuition fee is 9,000,13,000 euros (lower for liberal arts, 8,000,9,000 euros for polytechnic universities and 6,000,800 euros for private universities). Visa security deposit.
about 25.3 million yuan, which needs to be made by immediate family members.
Act as a guarantor.
2. International students can have a legal part-time job of no more than 20 hours per week (there is no limit to holidays), and there is also a paid internship for undergraduates, which can basically solve the living expenses. However, experts suggest that it is better for undergraduates not to work in the first 2 years and concentrate on their studies, because if they can only obtain a third-class degree when they graduate, it will be difficult to find a job.
3. Expensive rent: Studying in Ireland can choose on-campus apartments, homestays or rented houses, but the characteristic is that the rent is not low, especially in Dublin.
And the Irish on-campus apartments are not allowed to live in during the summer vacation.
4. Rainy days: The biggest feature of the Irish climate is probably that there are too many rainy days, and you may experience an infinite cycle of rainy days and sunny days in a day.
5. Have the ability to learn by yourself: First of all, the teaching methods of foreign teachers are different from those of domestic teachers, and secondly, the teaching time in Ireland is relatively short, so the knowledge taught by teachers is relatively limited, and many things need to be taught by students. This is actually not a disadvantage, but it may be difficult for some people to adapt for a while.

1.The weather in Ireland may disappoint you First and foremost, the most obvious issue is the weather. Since it is a country with an oceanic climate, it rains a lot, and the winters are also very cold.
In addition, due to its geographical location, there will be heavy wind and rain in a few weeks, and such weather conditions are not suitable for everyone. 2.The cost of living in Ireland is high, and you will find that living in Ireland is very expensive.
Renting is a real challenge, and it's not easy to find an affordable home. In addition, the drinks** in the pub are so high that many Irish people choose to drink at home. It is also very expensive to go to the supermarket to buy food, which makes many international students have to cook at home.
3.Cultural differences can be a big problemIf you're from Asia or Africa, you may have some cultural differences in the aftermath. Ireland is known for its unique culture and history, but that means that its people don't understand much about the culture and habits of other countries.
Sometimes you will find that your way of thinking is different from that of the locals, and you may even find it difficult to adapt. 4.Although Ireland has many world-renowned universities, the level of teaching in certain subjects such as business, engineering and computer science is not as good as it could be.
There are relatively few opportunities for practical or experimental aspects, which makes it difficult for students in emerging fields to stay up-to-date with the latest technical knowledge.

Reasons why it is not advisable to study abroad in Ireland:1. Since 1998, because of the ease of visas, many students have gone there to learn languages and work part-time, which has also caused some unstable effects in this crime-free country. To this end, Ireland** has rectified the study abroad market, and by June 2002, the visa rate for staying in Ireland has dropped significantly, and the visa period has been extended to 2 or even 10 months.
2. Unlike many Western countries that take the absorption of international students as an industry to shorten the study hours and reduce tuition fees to attract international students, there is no such preferential treatment in Ireland, except for the University of Limerick, which can make an exception to directly accept high school graduates, it generally requires IELTS scores or above, and also depends on the results of the college entrance examination, especially mathematics and English scores. In most cases, high school graduates in China have to take a nine-month college preparatory course before they can enroll in a bachelor's degree.
3. College students who go to Ireland to study generally do not advocate transferring credits, because Ireland attaches great importance to the quality of academic qualifications, and believes that it is unfair to other students to get the same degree while studying in the school for a short time. There are two types of master's degrees in Ireland, which are taught and researched according to different career orientations, and a doctorate degree requires three years of full energy to research a topic with a supervisor.

There are many study abroad agents on the market, and it is inevitable that students and parents will be dazzled when it comes to choosing from. Some people will blindly pursue the top ten rankings of many study abroad agents on the Internet, in fact, you can't just look at the rankings when choosing agents, because these study abroad agent rankings are often not very accurate.
The ranking of study abroad agencies is purely false, and there is no objective and comprehensive basis to speak of. You can first understand or consult several institutions for comparison before making a judgment.
You can check the qualifications of study abroad agents as a reference for choosing your own agents.

The agent fee varies depending on the ranking of the school you want to go to, the country you are applying to, and the region where you are applying. Determinants:
1. What school to apply for, the better the school you apply for, the more rough the key to dismantle, the more expensive the intermediary fee;
2. Whether overseas services are included, the intermediary fee is naturally more expensive.
3. Most of the intermediary fees are set by each study abroad agency, because in the study abroad intermediary fees. At present, there is no unified standard for the price department. In addition, the fees charged by each education agency, even if it are for the same country, are different.
At present, the median level of study abroad agency fees is as follows: most Southeast Asian countries 5,000-6,000 yuan; Europe such as France, Germany and other countries - about 10,000-20,000 yuan; Australia, New Zealand - about 1-30,000 yuan; United States, Canada - 20,000-100,000.
Taking studying in the United States as an example, entrusting a study abroad agent to apply for a U.S. university requires a minimum of about 25,000 yuan and a maximum of more than 60,000 yuan.
In other major English-speaking countries, studying in the UK, intermediaries generally charge fees depending on the situation, and the situation of study abroad agency fees is roughly as follows: if students apply for general institutions, the fee is roughly 9,000 yuan to 14,000 yuan, but if they want to apply for a better ranking bench, the education quality of the university needs to pay an intermediary service fee ranging from 14,000 yuan to 17,000 yuan.
Under normal circumstances, the service fee of Canadian education agents is 15,000 yuan to 22,000 yuan. The intermediary fee for studying in other European countries ranges from 10,000 yuan to 18,000 yuan, and the intermediary service fee in Japan and South Korea is relatively low, but because the Japanese application needs to include an overseas service fee of 30,000 yuan, the maximum fee can reach 40,000 yuan.

A master's degree in Ireland is generally 1 year, and you will get a master's degree after graduation.
The fees are roughly as follows:1Tuition: 120,000Cost of living: 6-100,000 3Total: 18-220,000.
The agent fee usually consists of three parts:
1. The application fee, which can be regarded as the basic cost of each applicant handled by the intermediary company, is generally 2,000 yuan - 4,000 yuan. Generally, this fee is non-refundable as long as the agency obtains an offer of admission from the school for the applicant, regardless of whether the visa is granted or not. The difference in the application fees charged by different intermediaries illustrates a problem:
The higher the fee, the lower the applicant's ability to complete the application and obtain the visa for the applicant.
2. Visa service fee, this fee is usually 10,000-12,000 yuan, if the student fails to obtain a visa, this fee will be refunded in full.
3. Tuition deposit, the tuition deposit is usually 10%-30% of the first year's tuition fee, between 500-1000 pounds. The purpose of this fee is to protect the basic rights and interests of foreign institutions and prevent students from failing to enroll due to their own reasons after obtaining a visa. This fee is collected by the study abroad agency, and the student will not have the problem of settling this fee with the foreign institution before the student is visaged.
That is, if the applicant is denied a visa, this fee shall be borne by the intermediary company, and the unconditional and immediate refund of the whole crack wheel department shall be liable.
Compared with the cost of studying abroad, the intermediary fee is actually nothing, but many parents have the mentality that they can save it. Many intermediaries have played the banner of "zero intermediary fees" based on the consumption caution of parents. But is there really no charge for "zero intermediary fees"?
Although some intermediaries claim that "zero intermediary fees", once the contract is signed, they will ask students to pay other fees for various reasons, such as "material translation fees", "training fees", "visa fees", etc., originally wanted to spend less money, but in the end they spent a lot. If you want to save agency fees, if you want to save agency fees, if you have the ability and energy, you can choose to study abroad DIY.
There is one that can be barely called "zero intermediaries", where some intermediaries work with overseas institutions to recommend students for that institution, and then the institutions pay a part of the intermediary fees. With such fierce competition for overseas high-quality university resources, it cannot be denied that the colleges and universities that apply in this way are not good, but it is almost impossible to apply to the top 10 or even top 30 universities in the UK.
