How is your service free?

Across the Pond can offer this unique free service, as our funding is provided from the UK universities that have appointed us to represent them in the U.S. This means we can offer students a choice in terms of programs, institutions and geographical locations in the UK.

Do you guarantee entry to your partner universities?

No. We believe that by using our service you will increase your chances of acceptance, because we make sure that you are applying to universities that match your subject preferences and academic ability. All final decisions are made by the Admissions team at each university and decisions are based on your own academic qualifications, standardized test results, personal statement and reference, and for some a portfolio of work or audition tape.

Can I bring US student loans with me to the UK?

Yes. All of our partners accept US Stafford loans.

Do I need a visa to study in the UK?

Yes. Our advisors will help you apply for an 'entry clearance' (visa) in time for your studies.

Are all entry requirements the same?

No. All of our partner universities vary and so it is best to check with us the exact requirements needed. Department entry grades vary within the universities and can be higher than the minimum requirements of a university. Do contact our advisors for more details.
