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.

left my career to study in the UK

Why I Left My Career to Study in the UK | UK Study Expert

Hi, I’m Nadia. And like you, back in 2012, I spent countless hours sitting at my work computer during lunch breaks scouring the internet for information on how to study a degree in the UK. I was Googling every topic under the sun, from university rankings to best UK cities for LGBTQ+ culture. I honestly had no idea what I was doing or what I was looking for, I just knew that somehow, some way, I was going to be studying in the UK by autumn of 2013. Enter Jackie Christopher.

 

I connected with Jackie through a mutual connection. She was the UK study expert having completed an undergraduate degree and graduate degree in the UK just a few years prior. Like me, she was kick starting her career in the education field. She had just completed the Education, Leadership and Management master’s program at the University of Roehampton in London and offered me a wealth of guidance and knowledge on all things related to studying in the UK.

 

Where I started…

 

I started my journey with Jackie at 29 years old. I was working a full-time job in higher education with benefits- you know, the type of job you are proud to announce on LinkedIn or gloat about in front of your siblings at family dinners. I was living in Boston Massachusetts, arguably the epicenter of American education with prestigious universities like Harvard and MIT. But even with a great job and all the glitz and glam of a young professional’s dream city, at the end of the day, I wasn’t happy.

 

I completed a master’s degree in Higher Education Administration from Suffolk University in Beacon Hill, Boston’s central district, in 2011. I spent many week nights cozying up to politicians and business folks alike at little hole in the wall bars studying away and grabbing a quick bite to eat after my 9-5 job and before evening classes. I was a traditional “parking lot to classroom” student meaning I spent as little time on campus as I could get away with whilst still, somehow by magic, maintaining a full-time career.

 

My master’s program at Suffolk was perfect for me at the time. I could take classes part-time in the evening working around my career. I met genuine lifelong friends and connections that helped me land nearly every future job I’ve had in my career since then. And through that program, I was admitted into Clemson University’s partner study abroad program where I completed a two-week long UK study abroad surveying the British Higher Education system. This is when I fell in love with the UK.

 

Why I chose to leave my full-time career to pursue UK study…

 

Studying abroad was always part of my education path. I completed a summer study abroad in history and classic studies in Greece as part of my undergraduate degree and knew, when entering graduate school, I wanted to go abroad again. When I found out the UK was an option for my program, I jumped at the chance. I figured if anything, at least studying in an English speaking country where I knew the language was already a step up from my time in Greece, where I knew not barely a simple tourist phrase in Greek. Talk about a long summer….

 

Outside the language similarities, I knew the prestigious reputation UK education held around the world. I knew it was comparable to the US, but really had no concept of exactly how it was different, or gasp!, even better, then what I knew or experienced in America. The primary reason I chose to leave my full-time (with benefits remember!) job and become a student again was simple: my career demanded it.

 

How having a UK degree really started my career… 

 

I had a degree in education and was working in the field, but I still felt like something was missing. Given how influential education abroad experiences were in my own development, my primary career goal was to obtain a job in study abroad. I wanted to share my passion and experience with future students. I felt like I had skills, abilities and mentorship to offer if only a university or college was willing to give me a chance.

 

I started applying to jobs and networking within the study abroad community and a theme emerged early and often from my peers- I needed a degree from an international university. Our field valued folks that practiced what they preached- people who took the initiative to push their boundaries, learn to integrate into a foreign culture and succeed in a non-American education system. My ability to get hired in study abroad was very contingent on my own willingness to get comfortable being uncomfortable– growing and learning in new ways I never considered when studying in the US education system.

 

My UK education is really what jump-started my career. A UK master’s degree was shorter and less expensive than my US degree and it brought so much value and validity to my resume that I didn’t realize was lacking. My UK master’s was a companion degree to my US master’s that forced me to not only look at how we do the things we do in education but why we do them.

 

My US master’s was a very hands-on degree, requiring two 300 hour internship experiences working in the education field, but my UK degree taught me the skills and mental discipline to undertake a year-long research exploration into an education topic that mattered to me. It was personal, academically rigorous and I am more proud of earning my final dissertation grade than any other academic accomplishment in my life.

 

How studying in the UK changed my life… 

 

I spent a year living, working and studying the same program and the same university Jackie completed a few years before me in London, England. I worked for a study abroad company helping fellow US students assimilate and thrive in UK culture. I grew and strengthened my student development and support skills exponentially in those 12 months- more so than any internship or full-time job I had to date.

 

Now, don’t get it twisted, I did a lot of FUN things during my time studying in the UK too- I wasn’t JUST a stuffy academic!. Being a little older with a slightly deeper savings account built up, I seized the opportunities to travel in and outside the UK, buy way more London theater tickets than I should have and celebrate my 30th birthday at Disneyland Paris. My wife and I had just gotten married at Disney before I started my British degree so celebrating my birthday AND our first year wedding anniversary in Disneyland Paris just seemed right.

 

I graduated from University of Roehampton in 2014. I returned to Boston from London and landed my dream job in study abroad, specifically helping students to study their full master’s or doctoral programs in the UK.

 

Hands down- I couldn’t have landed my dream job if it wasn’t for my UK degree. 

 

How it’s going now…

 

I’ve spent the past 10 plus years working with students in different roles across academia. I am now a career coach helping students design and build happy and fulfilling careers through authentic career coaching. My expertise includes career exploration guidance, resume writing, interview prep and LinkedIn profile optimization. My pronouns are She/ Her/ Hers and as a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I focus on how diverse identities impact and influence folks holistically and professionally.

 

I’m sharing my experience to show you that you can change your life, your career and your path at any age, with any level of experience. Studying in the UK was the best decision of my life and has opened my world up to people, places and possibilities I never imagined. I will always have a piece of my heart in London with my education abroad family and look forward to continuing to share my experience as a student, study abroad advisor and now career coach with you as a guest writer on this blog with my dear friend and longtime #1 UK Study Expert, Jackie Christopher.
