Why the USA

Six reasons students choose America

World-leading universities

The USA holds more places in the global top 100 than any other country — across nearly every field you can name.

Unmatched choice & flexibility

Explore subjects before you declare a major, switch paths, and build your own degree — the liberal-arts model is uniquely American.

Up to 3 years of work

12 months of OPT for every graduate — and a 24-month STEM extension that lets you work in the US for up to three years.

Research & funding

Graduate assistantships, fellowships and merit scholarships can cover a large share of your tuition — we help you find them.

Vibrant campus life

Hundreds of clubs, sports and societies on every campus — and a welcoming community of over a million international students.

A launchpad for global careers

A US degree opens doors worldwide — employers everywhere recognise its rigour and its name.
