International Student Recruiters Editing and Proofreading Services

International recruitment operates across a distance that makes verification hard in both directions. A family in one country commits several years of savings on the basis of documents produced in another, mediated by an agent paid on enrolment. The student arrives having been told what they needed to hear to arrive. When the reality differs — the cost, the accommodation, the work rights, the graduate outcomes — the institution deals with the consequences and the agent has moved on.

We edit what institutions, recruiters and agencies produce — course and institution information for international audiences, cost of study and living cost disclosures, entry and English language requirement information, visa and immigration information within permitted bounds, agent briefing packs and training material, agent agreements and codes of conduct, offer and enrolment documentation, pre-arrival and pre-departure information, accommodation and arrival support material, work rights and employment information, graduate outcome and career information, student support and mental health service information, refund, deferral and withdrawal policies, and complaints procedures accessible from overseas. Our editors work on source text that will be translated and used by agents.

Total cost disclosure is the document that determines whether a student can complete their studies, and it is routinely built from the tuition fee. A family budgeting from a fee figure discovers deposits, visa and health surcharge costs, proof-of-funds requirements they must show before arriving, accommodation deposits, and a living cost that bears no relation to the estimate they were given. Students then work beyond their permitted hours, fall behind, and withdraw — and the institution records this as attrition rather than as a disclosure failure. We write these so the first-year total is stated as a single number with everything itemised beneath it, in the currency the family will pay in as well as the institution's; so what must be paid before arrival is separated from what follows, since sequencing is what breaks budgets; so the living cost figure is the real local one with its basis stated, not the visa minimum; and so work rights are described with the actual hours and what happens if they are exceeded. Institutions that publish this lose some applications and lose far fewer students in year two.

Everything you send is treated in confidence, including agent agreements, commission terms and applicant information. We are editors rather than immigration, legal or education advisers, and we offer no view on visa requirements, agent regulation or any application. What we can do is make the disclosures complete and the source text clean for translation.
