From your first counselling call to your first week abroad, this is the sequence we follow and what is expected from you at each stage.
Most students underestimate the timeline. Scholarship and accommodation deadlines usually close months before the course begins, and some countries add their own steps — the APS certificate for Germany, Campus France for France, Universitaly pre-enrolment for Italy.
