London · Onshore progression

Already here.
Study further.

One counsellor owns the file — shortlist, application, CAS, enrolment. A master's from your bachelor's, or a university that fits the course you are on. The first session is free.

01 — The offer

Onshore progression is the work this office does first

You are already here. The next university should start from the transcript and visa you hold now — not from a brochure written for someone still in Kathmandu.

Study further at another university

The course you started is not the one you should finish. We look for a UK university that will take your transcript and your remaining visa time.

Bachelor's to master's

You are in your last year, or you have just graduated. We open the master's file before results day, using predicted grades and the intake you can still make.

Applying from outside

You are not in the UK yet. London or a Nepal office can still run the full file — shortlist, application, visa, departure — the same way the head office does.

03 — The work

Four stages.
One progression file.

From the course you are on now to the first week of the next one. The first conversation is free.

  1. 01

    Read the file

    Current university, grades, subject, budget, and your permission to stay. We do not shortlist until those are on the table.

  2. 02

    Shortlist

    UK courses you can enter from the degree you already hold — including the ones that will not, and why.

  3. 03

    Apply

    Statement, references, transcripts, and deadlines. The university receives a complete application.

  4. 04

    Enrol

    Offer conditions, the new CAS if you are already in the UK, and the first week of the new course.

05 — Other services

The same file the head office runs

Onshore progression is what we highlight. Counselling, tests, applications, scholarships, visa, and pre-departure still sit on the file when you need them.

01

Personalised counselling

We match your grades, budget, and timeline to a country and course you can actually complete — the same first session the Nepal offices run.

02

Test preparation

Coaching and practice for IELTS, TOEFL, SAT, and GRE so language and admissions tests do not stall the file.

03

Application assistance

Document checklist, SOP support, and deadline tracking until the university has a complete application.

04

Scholarships and funding

We flag awards you may qualify for and help you present a file that funding committees can read.

05

Visa guidance

Country-specific checklists, interview practice, and a file review before you lodge. We prepare the education file. We do not give immigration legal advice.

06

Pre-departure orientation

What to pack, how to land, accommodation options, and who to call in the first week — for students leaving Nepal or moving city inside the UK.

06 — Students

“They delivered what they promised, and more. The staff were cordial and clear. If you are just starting, visit the office and talk to the team.”

Nischal Subedi

Counselling covered test preparation, English, and the study-abroad path in one place. I knew what to do next after the first meeting.

Roshan Parde

It felt like a family office with the process of a proper consultancy. I would tell anyone planning to study abroad to visit once and judge for themselves.

Cizen Shrestha

Reliable counselling and visa support. I recommend Start Education if you want a clear path rather than a sales pitch.

What is onshore progression?

You are already in the UK on a Student visa, or you have just finished a UK course, and you want to study further — a new university or the next degree — without going home. We shortlist a course you can enter, apply, and work through the new CAS with the university.

I am finishing a bachelor's in the UK. Can you help me apply for a master's here?

Yes. That is the most common progression we do. We shortlist master's courses you can enter from your current degree, then build the application while you are still in the UK.

Do I have to leave the UK to apply?

No. Shortlisting, applications, and offers happen while you are here. Travel only comes up if a university or your permission to stay requires it, and we flag that at the start.

I am not happy with my current UK university. Can I study further somewhere else?

Often yes, if your transcript, attendance, and visa dates support a new offer. We will say if the jump is too late in the year or the subject change is too wide.

When should I start?

For a September master's, start the autumn or winter before, while references and predicted grades are still easy to collect. January courses are fewer, so that conversation needs to happen earlier. A mid-course change has a tighter window — call as soon as you know.

Will I need IELTS if my bachelor's was taught in English?

A UK bachelor's taught in English is often accepted instead of IELTS, but each university sets its own rule. We check the course page rather than assume a waiver.
