"I used an agent to do mine. The agent I used asked me about the course I wanted to study. They then brought out the schools that offered that course, how much it would cost, and the standard of living. So it was pretty much very simple for me to choose the school I wanted. I don't think they asked for my school cert. They just asked for my school transcript. I applied to the University of Wolverhampton in November or September. I got admitted in January and travelled in March."
