Everything You Wanted to Ask
Honest answers about how Araya works, who we help, and what to expect from postgraduate admissions abroad. Still have a question? We're one message away.
What exactly does Araya Global do?
Araya is a premium postgraduate admissions consultancy. We guide ambitious students through every stage of applying to top universities abroad — shortlisting programmes, building a standout profile, writing compelling essays and SOPs, preparing for interviews, and planning finances and visas. Beyond getting you admitted, we prepare you to thrive once you arrive.
Which countries and destinations do you cover?
We specialise in postgraduate admissions for the United States, United Kingdom, Singapore, Australia and Europe. Each destination has a dedicated strategy because timelines, application formats and funding routes differ significantly from one country to the next.
Who is Araya the right fit for?
We work best with students who are serious about postgraduate study at a strong university and want expert, personalised guidance rather than a template. Whether you're a recent graduate or a working professional planning a Master's or MBA, we build the plan around your goals.
How is Araya different from other consultancies?
Most consultants stop at 'getting you in'. We focus on real-world readiness — the strategy, positioning and mindset that help you lead once you're there. Our guidance is personal, senior-led and honest. We tell you what will actually strengthen your application, not what you want to hear.
Do you guarantee admission to a specific university?
No reputable consultancy can honestly guarantee admission — decisions rest with the universities. What we guarantee is a rigorous, strategic process that maximises your chances and presents you at your strongest. We're transparent about fit and realistic about outcomes.
When should I start working with you?
Earlier is always better. Ideally 8–12 months before your intended intake, so there's time to strengthen your profile, research programmes and prepare tests. That said, we also help students on tighter timelines — reach out and we'll tell you honestly what's achievable.
What's included in your service?
Depending on your plan, support typically covers profile evaluation, university and course shortlisting, application strategy, SOP and essay guidance, CV/resume refinement, recommendation strategy, interview preparation, and guidance on scholarships, funding and student visas.
Do you help with the SOP, personal statement and essays?
Yes. Your written application is often what separates you from equally-qualified candidates. We help you find your story, structure it well and express it in your own authentic voice — we guide and refine, we never write it for you.
Can you help with scholarships and funding?
Absolutely. We help you identify scholarships you're genuinely eligible for, position your application to be competitive for funding, and plan the overall financial picture of studying abroad.
Do you assist with student visas?
Yes. Once you have an offer, we guide you through the student-visa process for your destination — documentation, financial requirements and timelines — so nothing derails your plans at the final step.
How much does it cost?
Because every student's needs are different, we scope a plan to your specific goals and destinations rather than selling a fixed package. Book a free strategy call and we'll walk you through the options transparently.
