University Selection FAQs
How do you choose a university for me?
We don't make the decision for you. We review your academic background, course interests, destination, budget and other priorities to help you identify suitable options.
Can you help me if I don't know which country to choose?
Yes. Our counselling process can help you compare study destinations before narrowing down university options.
Can you compare multiple universities?
Yes. We can help you compare factors such as course, entry requirements, tuition fees, location, scholarships and intakes.
Do I need IELTS before choosing a university?
Not necessarily. English-language requirements vary by university and course, so it can be useful to understand your options before taking a test.
Will you guarantee university admission?
No. Aafaq Global provides guidance and application support, but the university makes the final admission decision.
Can I choose a university that isn't an Aafaq Global partner?
That depends on the university and the available application route. Aafaq Global should only describe a university as a partner where an official relationship exists.
