For students
You are here to study, make friends and enjoy it. We are the people who sort out the boring parts, and the emergencies.
Know who to ask before you need help
The UK will feel unfamiliar at first, so make your support network clear early.
Save Study Links’ contact details, understand how you will travel, know who your school contacts are and make sure you know who to call if something does not go to plan.
You do not have to solve everything alone
A problem is usually easier to fix when you tell someone before it gets bigger. Asking early gives us more options and means you do not have to deal with it on your own.
If something at school, in a homestay, while travelling or with your studies is worrying you, contact us. Whatever it is, we will have helped other students with something similar, and helping is our job, so please do not feel shy. We will listen, work out what needs to happen and help you take the next step.
Study hard, but make the experience bigger than school
Your time in the UK should build confidence, independence and memories as well as academic progress. The best experience is about much more than what happens in the classroom.
Try new activities, spend time with host families, explore different places, make friends and ask questions. We want your stay to feel exciting, enriching and useful for whatever comes next.

What others say
Without question, Study Links have given me the best care during my study period in the UK. I feel like I have joined a big family. It is not just guardianship, it is more like family-ship.
If I have any problems in the UK, the first thing I do is tell Study Links, because they will actually give you solutions to sort out the problems.
When I first came to England, I was shocked by the unfamiliar environment and faces which made me feel anxious and homesick. Study Links has given me the confidence to study in England. Other students in my school also give excellent comments about Study Links. I’m glad to be one of their students.
Common questions
How quickly will you reply to my enquiry?
We aim to answer our enquiries within 1 working day. If your child is in our care and it is urgent, use the 24/7 emergency number instead of email.
Do you speak our language?
We speak several languages ourselves, including Mandarin, Cantonese, Polish, French and German, and we can draw on a specialist to assist. We can talk to parents directly and translate school reports and other documents where needed.
Where are you based?
Our head office is in Bradford, West Yorkshire, and we have staff and host families across the UK. Using local representatives keeps travel costs down and means someone can reach a student quickly.
Are you accredited?
Yes. We are accredited to gold standard by AEGIS (the Association for the Education and Guardianship of International Students), and BSA (the Boarding School Association), and inspected regularly against their standards.
