Service Process
Student Yang scored 6.0 on his first IELTS attempt and achieved 6.5 on his second attempt two months later.
Based on the student’s marketing background and six years of product management experience, the adviser recommended applying for the Master of Business Administration (MBA) to develop well-rounded management capabilities. The MBA application was submitted to the University of Waikato in late December.
Final Result
An offer was received from the University of Waikato the following February, and the student successfully enrolled. The university is ranked 250th in the QS rankings, and its MBA programme has been recognised by the American Ivy League Association as one of the top overseas study destinations for North American students.
Adviser’s Comments
The entire application process went very smoothly with no delays. Personalised guidance and precise management of the application timeline are critical to a student’s success. For applicants with substantial work experience, an MBA is an excellent choice of direction.
