British Council and English UK certified — recognised by UKVI for student-visa purposes.

Why through LCIS specifically
Handled administration
We collect documents, translate where needed, and deal with the partner's onboarding paperwork — you sign, we run the rest.
Timeline coordination
Visa deadlines, tuition windows, language exam dates and university intakes are stitched together so nothing slips between providers.
Post-departure support
After you arrive, our team stays on call for renewals, ID issues, residence permits and the small problems no one warned you about.
Combined with
Most students don't need just one partner. Here's what we typically pair this with for a complete pathway.
Pricing & enrollment
SkillMe pathway tuition varies by university and provider — we quote the live rate for your shortlisted program.
Pathway tuition
Pricing depends on the partner provider (Study Group, Navitas, Kaplan), the UK university and the pathway length. We share the exact rate before you commit.
Intake months
Most UK pathway providers run three intakes per year, which lets us align your start with your visa file rather than waiting a full academic year.
Application steps
We profile-match you to the right pathway provider and UK university shortlist.
We submit the application via SkillMe and coordinate your UKVI student-visa file.
On successful pathway completion we transition you into the UK degree itself.
