BCIE has a dedicated list of university clients that have worked with us, in some cases, since the day the company started its operations over 15 years ago! For a number of universities we are the sole representative in our markets and for the majority we are the largest producing agency that delivers students to their universities.
We are very selective about the universities we work with, trying to draw a balance between providing enough choice for our students and ensuring that there are not too many universities on our lists such that each university we work with is satisfied with the return on investment that they make through us.
Below is what just some of our clients have to say about us. Should your institution wish to join our panel of universities please contact us here.
James Littlewood, Bournemouth University
I've only got good things to say about BCIE! On a personal level I always feel welcomed when I visit their offices, and on a professional level I am consistently impressed with the dedication and energy displayed by their staff. Bournemouth University has a longstanding relationship with BCIE and I have no hesitation in recommending their services to you. Having BCIE representation will make your experience of applying to Bournemouth University much easier. They will explain the courses available, our entry requirements and all other aspects of university life. They will also work closely with our International Admissions Office to ensure that your application is processed as quickly as possible and that other processes, such as visa applications, go smoothly. I have the utmost confidence in the services BCIE deliver and look forward to working with them for years to come.
Ainsley McIntosh, University of Aberdeen
The University of Aberdeen has enjoyed a fruitful working relationship with BCIE since 2007, during which time BCIE has done a fantastic job of recruiting ever-stronger numbers of well qualified, bright students for a wide range of programmes in our portfolio. Thanks to both BCIE's UK and in-country teams, our visits are well organised, follow up is extremely efficient, and we enjoy excellent support both during our trips and on the ground. The many years' experience accrued by BCIE's staff members ensures that applicants are provided with strong support during the visa application process, which is of great value at this particularly stressful stage in the admission process. The in-country teams balance professionalism with friendliness and warmth, ensuring that our visits are not only productive but also a pleasure. I have absolute confidence in the quality and level of service that BCIE delivers, and look forward to working closely alongside our colleagues there for many years to come. Furthermore, I would have no hesitation in recommending prospective students and partner universities to engage the services of BCIE so that they too may benefit from the agency's years of excellence and experience in the field.
Greg Slatcher, Deakin University
A big thanks for taking good care of me and Deakin last weekend in Nigeria. Was hard to believe how popular Australia and Deakin was. Attending the event has convinced me that Nigerian particular has to be one of our top priorities for next year, so you will be seeing a lot more of me. The event was incredibly well organised and met all my expectations, and your staff were brilliant...
Scott Webber, Western Sydney University The College
Dear BCIE Team I just wanted to say thank you for the superior quality of this GTE assessment submission for Mr Victor Sunday. This is the reason why we’ve approved this case fast, as all aspects of Annual Income, Ready Funds and SOP were presented very well. In my position, this is exactly what I look for, so hoping this feedback helps in future cases. Just wanted to give credit where credit is due!
Gerardine Todger, Sheffield Hallam University
Sheffield Hallam University has been working with BCIE in Ghana since 2009. Their office provides our students with a friendly and professional environment to source reliable information and guidance. BCIE Ghana provides us with a growing number of quality students who always speak highly of BCIE staff and having met the team I can see why! I am confident in the services BCIE provide for us and our students, long may it continue!
Jamie Hastings, Robert Gordon University
BCIE has strategically located offices around West Africa and are a dominant force in the market of student recruitment. Robert Gordon University is pleased to be working as a partner to BCIE in the region and will continue to visit the regional offices and engage in exhibitions and other recruitment initiatives.
Hira Sheikh, Coventry University
it was good effort as the first time. I have had about 36 applications filled and I am hoping BCIE will put their efforts now to convert them. Further it was a channel of interaction to fill the gaps and work more efficiently in future. We are looking forward for support from you now for a progressive intake. Overall I rate it 7.5/10
Melissa Gibson, University of Southampton
I am delighted that the University of Southampton and BCIE have such a longstanding, positive working relationship and I am sure we will continue to do so for many years to come. The BCIE offices in Ghana, Nigeria and Pakistan are professional, welcoming environments with reliable, friendly and knowledgeable staff - all of whom can demonstrate the far-reaching benefits of a UK education to students and their families. It is testament to the support that BCIE provides our prospective students throughout the university and visa application process that we continue to work closely together and remain happy to refer students for assistance.
Kimberley Nance, The University of Melbourne
We value the high quality visa advice and student counselling they provide our prospective students in Nigeria and Ghana. BCIE have a respectable work ethic and professional manner which aligns well with The University of Melbourne’s reputation and world standing. We look forward to working more closely with BCIE in 2017 and welcoming students to our campus in Melbourne, Australia.
Anthony Badgery, University of New South Wales
We have worked with them to guide us on how to best assist West African students to study in Australia. UNSW looks forward to a strong relationship going forward and recommends BCIE to students and other stakeholders for their high level of professionalism.
Jon Dixon, The University of Melbourne
The University of Melbourne and BCIE work closely together in order to attract quality students from Nigeria and Ghana seeking higher education at one of the world’s best Universities. The University trusts the high quality work BCIE provide, in terms of visa assistance and student counselling to prospective students. The University of Melbourne look forward to working more closely in welcoming more high quality students from BCIE’s offices in the future, and welcoming their great students onto our campus in Melbourne, Australia.
Joe Paley, University of South Wales
At the University of South Wales we see BCIE as a key partner of ours across West Africa and Pakistan in ensuring students receive the professional advice they need to study in the UK. Indeed, in the BCIE Ikeja office in Lagos, we have Bolakunmi Osikoya who works on behalf of the University of South Wales to guide students through the processes of applying to our wonderful institution. We look forward to working closely with BCIE into 2020 and beyond. Moreover, we are excited to welcome many more students to study at the University of South Wales who have used BCIE’s excellent services for their UK study preparation.
Rachel Sunderland, Bournemouth University
Personally I have worked with BCIE for over 15 years. During that time I have experienced friendly and professional service. The recruitment and visa advice as well as their knowledge of the Nigerian and UK education systems is excellent. The students who arrive at BU having being counselled by BCIE are well prepared and have a very good overview of what to expect, helping them settle into life in the UK easily with no surprises. The students who have been referred by BCIE feedback to me they are pleased with the service received and many keep in touch with BCIE during and after their student journey. I always get a warm Nigerian welcome from everyone in the ‘BCIE family’ and I look forward to my regular visits.
Hal Evecan, University of Wollongong
BCIE are an official University of Wollongong partner and have consistently demonstrated professionalism, ethics and an excellent knowledge of the Australian higher education sector. BCIE is focused on excellence in providing personalised counselling and student visa services for future international students. This focus of excellence aligns itself well with the University of Wollongong’s reputation as a world class university. UOW looks forward to an ongoing close working relationship with BCIE in 2020 and beyond and look forward to welcoming students to the University of Wollongong Australia.
