Sponsored by Uniabroad-IDP IELTS
Some of UniAbroad team members during their annual Study Abroad Expo in Nairobi recently.
As the demand for international education reaches an all-time high, UniAbroad Education Services is breaking down barriers for Kenyan students. By expanding its physical presence to major hubs like Eldoret, Nakuru, Kisumu, and Mombasa, the consultancy is ensuring that world-class guidance and essential testing services are no longer just a Nairobi privilege.
Local access to global opportunities
Recognising that the journey to a foreign university begins with local support, UniAbroad has strategically opened offices in Eldoret, Nakuru and Kisumu. These branches serve as dedicated hubs where students and parents can access face-to-face academic counselling, university selection assistance, and scholarship guidance.
“Proximity matters,” says a UniAbroad representative. “By being on the ground in Nakuru and Kisumu, we can offer the same high-level expertise found in our Nairobi and Eldoret offices, helping students navigate the complex paperwork of applications and visas without the need for long-distance travel.”
The coastal advantage: New IELTS Test Centre in Mombasa
Perhaps the most significant development for coastal residents is the launch of the UniAbroad IELTS Test Centre in Mombasa. As an official partner for IELTS, UniAbroad now provides a professional, state-of-the-art environment for students in the coast region to sit for their English proficiency exams.
This facility complements UniAbroad’s existing test centres, offering the following:
- Official IELTS registration: Hassle-free booking for both computer-delivered and paper-based tests.
- Regional convenience: Eliminating the need for Coast-based candidates to travel to Nairobi for their exams.
- Comprehensive preparation: Access to expert coaching and prep materials tailored to help students achieve the Band 7+ scores often required by top-tier universities.
A 360-degree success model
UniAbroad’s reputation as a leader in student placement is built on its “End-to-End” service model. Their expertise spans across the world’s most sought-after study destinations, including Canada, Germany, Dubai, Malaysia, Switzerland, the UK, Australia, USA, Ireland, and New Zealand.
Their comprehensive support system includes:
- Personalised counselling: Matching students to over 700+ partner institutions worldwide.
- Visa mastery: A high-success rate in securing student visas through meticulous document review.
- Pre-departure orientation: Equipping students with the cultural and logistical knowledge needed to thrive abroad.
- Financial guidance: Advice on tuition fees, living costs, and available scholarship opportunities.
Turning ambition into reality
The impact of UniAbroad is best told through the voices of its students. One prospective student recently shared: “I felt overwhelmed by the many requirements of studying abroad, but UniAbroad made everything so much easier. From the IELTS prep to the final visa approval, their team was with me every step of the way. Their personalised approach is what truly sets them apart.”
With its expanded reach from the highlands to the lake basin and down to the coast, UniAbroad is cementing its position as Kenya’s premier gateway to the world.
