Meet Jackie, Founder of the UK Study Expert

Growing up in a lower-middle-class family in Philadelphia, traveling wasn’t something we could afford to do regularly, especially internationally.
When considering my college options, I felt compelled to step out of my comfort zone and explore a world beyond Philly.

 

I went on to earn my bachelor’s degree in Education and Fine Art at Aberystwyth University in Wales, and at 22, I completed my master’s degree in Education, Leadership and Management at the University of Roehampton in London.

 

Now, my goal is to be the bridge between students, families, and counselors to UK universities—and over the past 10 years, my team and I have helped 600 students study in the UK through our direct partnerships with 150+ universities.

Most US college counselors simply do not have deep experience with UK admissions. They are trained in the Common App and US university systems, not UCAS and UK entry requirements. Our team has lived and worked inside the UK system for over a decade, completed degrees in the UK, and successfully placed over 600 US students in UK universities. This specialized expertise means we know exactly what UK admissions officers are looking for and how to position your application for success.

Absolutely. The UK Study Accelerator Program is designed specifically for US students and families who are unfamiliar with the UK admissions process. We guide you through every step, from understanding how your US qualifications translate to UK requirements, to building your university list, to submitting your UCAS application. You do not need any prior knowledge of the UK system to succeed with our program.

Most students can get accepted into their dream UK university in as little as 90 days when working with our program. The exact timeline depends on your starting point and application deadlines, but our process is designed to compress months of confusing research and trial-and-error into a streamlined, efficient pathway. We keep you on track with deadlines and next steps through your Personal UK Study Success Portal.

We have handled virtually every type of student case over the past decade, from high-achievers aiming for top-ranking schools to transfers and non-traditional applicants. Our University Partnership Network gives us direct access to admissions officers at over 150 UK universities. If your academic background is unusual or your grades fall slightly short, we can contact them directly to clarify your eligibility or advocate on your behalf, often turning borderline cases into successful outcomes.

We create your match list based on a thorough review of your transcript, GPA, AP and IB courses, test scores, college credits, subject interests, and budget. Using our direct knowledge of which institutions work best for and are supportive of US students, we identify universities where you have a strong chance of admission. This is not based on rankings alone but on real acceptance probability and fit for your specific profile.

Through the UCAS system, you can apply to a maximum of five universities or courses. Because of this limit, picking the wrong mix can cost you an entire application cycle. We walk you through your shortlist and help you refine your choices so your top 5 is both ambitious and realistic, with two reach schools, two solid matches, and one fallback option.

This is where many students feel most stressed and unsupported. With our 90 Day Post-Submission Ongoing Support, you have direct access to our team Monday through Friday to help you interpret offers, understand conditional vs. unconditional offers, resolve unexpected issues like missing conditions, and guide your visa and housing next steps. We can also reach out to universities directly and advocate for you when issues arise.

Yes. Our 90 Day Post-Submission Ongoing Support includes guidance on student visa applications and housing so you can plan your move to the UK without feeling overwhelmed or alone. We walk you through the process and answer your questions so you know exactly what to do at each step.

Our entire process is designed to minimize this risk. We review your academic profile to identify where you have a strong chance of admission, build a strategic university list with reach, match, and fallback options, and refine every part of your application to meet UK standards. Our advocacy relationships with over 150 universities also help turn borderline cases into successful outcomes. The families who work with us have a significantly higher acceptance rate than those who navigate the process alone.

Many students save over $50,000 on their degree by studying in the UK. UK bachelor’s degrees are typically three years instead of four, which means one less year of tuition and living costs plus the ability to start your full-time career a year earlier. Combined with lower tuition at many UK universities compared to US private institutions, the savings can be substantial.

Yes, 100%. The discovery call is a completely free, no-strings-attached conversation where we review your academic profile, identify which UK universities would be the best match for your situation, and map out your exact pathway to studying abroad. If the program is not the right fit for you, you will know within 30 minutes with zero pressure. There is no cost and no obligation to move forward.

That is exactly what the discovery call is for. During our conversation, we will review your goals, academic background, and situation to help you understand whether studying in the UK makes sense for you. You will get clarity on your options and a realistic picture of what the process would look like, so you can make an informed decision without guessing.

UK application deadlines vary depending on the university and course, but popular courses fill up quickly and spaces for international students are limited. The earlier you start, the more options you have and the more time we have to refine your application. Every month you wait is a month closer to deadlines and a month where other students are already making their plans to study abroad. We recommend booking your discovery call as soon as possible so we can map out your timeline together.

Our program is built specifically for US students who want to study in the UK. We have over 10 years of experience inside the UK admissions system, have successfully placed over 600 US students in UK universities, and have direct relationships with admissions offices at over 150 UK universities. This combination of specialized expertise, proven track record, and insider access gives you advantages that general admissions consultants simply cannot provide.

Absolutely. We understand that studying abroad is a family decision. Parents are welcome to join discovery calls and stay informed throughout the process. Our Personal UK Study Success Portal gives families a clear view of deadlines, next steps, and progress so everyone knows exactly where things stand at all times.

Your private online portal gives you one place to track every deadline, upload documents, and understand your exact next steps. You will see what has been completed, what is due next, and have a clear view of upcoming deadlines so nothing falls through the cracks. The portal also includes curated information about different UK universities, video courses walking you through each stage of the UK study journey, and downloadable resources like our UCAS completion guide and personal statement templates designed specifically for US applicants.

No problem at all. If you’re still exploring your options, we have two free resources to help you get started with zero commitment. First, take our free 90-second quiz to discover your top 5 UK university matches based on your academic profile and goals. It’s a quick way to see which UK universities could be a great fit for you before making any decisions. Second, you’re welcome to join the UK Study Society Private Community completely free, where you can connect with other US students and families considering UK study, attend live university events, and get your questions answered by experts and peers who know the UK system. Both resources are designed to help you explore whether studying in the UK is right for you—on your own timeline and with no pressure.

Employers View International Study and Work Experience When Hiring

How US Employers Value International Study | UK Study Expert

As a career coach, I partner with recruiters to help connect qualified students to hiring companies. I’ve had the fantastic personal experience of seeing how beneficial a UK education has been in my own career but how do US employers really view international study and work experience in the hiring process?

 

I recently sat down with Allison Walke and Briana Whitlow, who are both full-time recruiters experienced in hiring students for full-time entry level jobs, to better understand how international experience plays into the hiring process.

 

International Experience on Resumes

 

Having international study and work experience on your resume could be the difference in getting offered an interview or not. Employers always seek applicants with international experience. “Having international experience on your resume is a HUGE bonus. In my opinion, it demonstrates your interest in acquiring global skills and opening your eyes to different ways of life” explains Briana.

 

Allison says, “My international experience in Paris focused on luxury marketing. I took classes on how boutique brands market themselves, and even got to visit some of the brands to see that firsthand. I’m a big believer in tailoring your resume to the specific job you’re applying for. If a study abroad experience lines up well with that particular position, definitely include it.”

 

International Experience in Interviews

 

Always do your homework before an interview. Allison explains, “Prior to any interview, you should do some research on the company and the position – based on the job description, what are the skills they are most looking for in an ideal candidate? If you learned one of those skills through international experience, it’s a great chance to bring it up.”

 

If Your Abroad Experience Doesn’t Seem Relevant to Your Profession…

 

Every study abroad experience tells a story and getting hired into a role is a gauntlet of basically just telling stories. From the stories on your resume to what you say in an interview, it is important to understand how your experiences position yourself for each interview. Briana explains, “there are always transferable skills during a study abroad experience in some way, shape or form that can be connected to a job”.

 

Allison shares, “I was recently interviewing a Physical Therapist who had study abroad experience in Mexico on her resume. She talked about how she was able to learn and practice PT while there and discussed how the opportunity allowed her to become much more comfortable speaking Spanish, especially within the PT setting. This was the perfect time to bring up her international experience, as that’s a skill that not everyone has. It really helped set her apart and made her a more well-rounded candidate in my eyes”.

 

The “Don’ts” When Discussing International Experience

 

When asked about international experience, you should have a thought out, well crafted reply to why you did the experience and how you grew from it. Don’t come to an interview unprepared or worse, make your abroad experience look like an afterthought.

 

Allison says, “I’ve asked students about their experience before and they brush it off or downplay the experience.These kinds of answers make me feel like they just went on the trip for a vacation, which could make me think they are only interested in the job for the culture or perks. Instead, it’s best to talk about the relevant lessons learned [abroad] to show that you’re a serious and diverse candidate.

 

When discussing your international experience, be intentional with how you tell your story and don’t let the employer do the heavy lifting connecting your experience to the job you are applying for. Briana suggests being strategic, “tie it back into the role. Don’t spend too much time on one topic. If you think there are some things you learned during your study abroad experience that could help you in the job, connect the dots”.

 

The Comfort Zone and Soft Skills

 

International experiences show employers you are comfortable being uncomfortable and are willing to learn and grow. Allison shares her own personal experience, “while I was on my study abroad trip to Costa Rica, we had an afternoon in the rainforest where we had the option to go bungee jumping. It truly pushed me out of my comfort zone, and when things get hard, I still sometimes think about the courage it took to do that, and I know I can find that courage again to get through whatever difficult situation is in front of me”.

 

Other elements to bring up from your international experience are your soft skills. Briana says, “having experience in cultural understanding, effective communication, and empathy will help you navigate those partnerships (personally and professionally)”.

 

It’s All About Standing Out

 

Job market competition is at an all time high with the ease of online applications. The key to a successful job search is finding a way to stand out from the crowd. Briana suggests, “highlighting your study abroad experience and one or two key takeaways from this experience. Recruiters and hiring managers like to see the impact of your experience.”

 

She also recommends considering specific questions when preparing for interviews such as: How did your study abroad experience enhance your perspective of business operations? Do other cultures do things that you think would be beneficial to the way we do things in the states?

 

It’s all about standing out and having a uniquely diverse, global experience that can definitely separate you from the applicant pack.
