Adventus Education – your career guiding partner for “Study Abroad”
“Students and parents are at the centre of everything we do.”
It is a hectic period of the year for all those students who have received their AL results and (and of course their parents) who are planning on studying overseas for the September/October intake. An extra piece of advice or information would always be appreciated. Better yet, it would be wonderful to be relieved of the mounting stress by handing over the responsibility to a trustworthy professional body whose philosophy is that “students and parents are at the centre of everything we do.”
Adventus Education, an international student advising organization is always prepared to help out students and parents and offer the best possible advice and support in this context at no cost. It is a completely transparent and independent system that offers impartial advice.
An international organization whose offices can be found in London, Australia and Sri Lanka, Adventus is set up and owned by former intellectualization professionals and academics, who have first-hand experi- ence in all aspects of education.
The CEO, Christopher Price who has 18 years of experience under his belt says “we come from the education sector hence we are in a unique position to offer the best possible advice to the students.”
Apart from helping students to gain admission to foreign universities, they also extend helping hands to local institutions to create international partnerships with foreign universities. They boast of a large client list of universities across Australia, USA, Canada, Malaysia and Europe. The staff at the Sri Lankan office is trained upto the required national standards and the SL staff are constantly sent overseas for training as well. Chris also, trains the staff as he is a professional trainer for the EAIE and in the past for the British Council.
Adventus has its hands in all corners of the world guided by the “helicopter view” of higher education experience that Chris has gained. He is also one of the 14 senate members of the European Association for International Education (EAIE) which is the main professional body for university professionals in Europe. Meeting all the needs of the student Adventus can be better referred to as “one stop shop which holds the hands of students through every stage.” Apart from carrying out the college admission process they go the extra distance to develop financial assistance in terms of scholarships and bursaries so much that it has become one of their key strengths. Majority of the students who’ve been placed through them have been offered scholarships. “International education is an investment in your future that adds an international flavor to your academic career.” He explained. The benefits one can gain through international education are endless as it expands your horizon and makes you a well-rounded person.
Adventus firmly believes that they are capable of helping everybody in one way or another. Chris says that what makes Adventus what it is, is that “most of us are parents hence we have an uncanny ability to place ourselves in their shoes and interpret the situation from their perspective.” Any student or parent who requires further assurance of the suggested options is always welcome to speak to Chris may it be face to face or even video calling.
College admissions is a complicated process with about 17,000 colleges across the world offering a vast number of degree programmes even under one subject matter. Chris advises all potential students to seek professional advice and to plan ahead, as the more planning you do, the better the options that exist. Giving you the strength to ‘discover yourself’ Adventus will do you immense justice as they believe that “we are the people who open doors for the people, but you have to walk through it and discover yourself.”
