Questions & answers
We answer honestly.
How much does the consultation cost?
The first consultation is free and comes with no obligations. In 45 minutes we'll discuss your goals, budget and chances and suggest a plan.
Can I get in without the UNT (Unified National Testing) and IELTS?
Many universities in Turkey and Malaysia admit students on their school certificate, with the language brought up to level on a preparatory course. For the United Kingdom and the USA you usually need a language test โ IELTS, TOEFL or Duolingo โ and for top universities, high scores and a strong portfolio. At the consultation we'll tell you exactly what you need.
Do you guarantee admission?
We don't promise โ100%โ โ the admission decision is made by the university. We honestly assess your chances, submit applications to several universities at different levels, and set out in the contract what the service includes and on what terms a refund is possible.
How is tuition paid?
Directly to the university's official account โ using the details from the admission letter. Al Ma Dei does not accept tuition payments. Our services are paid under the contract to the LLP's bank account.
When to start preparing?
Ideally 9โ12 months before studies begin. For the USA and the United Kingdom, especially top universities and medicine โ 12โ18 months. If time is short, we'll tell you which intakes are still open.
Do you help after the move?
Yes. We meet you at the airport and help with move-in, a SIM card, a bank account, insurance and a residence permit. Your coordinator stays in touch even after studies begin.
Is a foreign degree recognised in Kazakhstan?
Diplomas from accredited foreign universities can be used in Kazakhstan โ in some cases after a recognition (nostrification) procedure. We check the university's accreditation in advance and explain what you will need after graduation.
