Over the past 10 years, Study Group has invested heavily in building a global recruitment and marketing network across all major student markets. This is widely acknowledged to be the most powerful and sophisticated in the international education sector.

Universities worldwide are confronting change as never before: new demographics and declines in traditional student cohorts; rising costs and falling funds; rapid globalisation and its challenge of opportunity.

In this increasingly competitive and costly global environment, collaborative engagement – the pooling of powerfully complementary resources – provides the key to sustainable growth and security.

Study Group is investing heavily in this future, developing a market-leading network of alliances with internationally focused universities across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand.

We’re now actively engaged with nearly 200 higher education institutions, working to shared academic values and a common strategic purpose.

Experienced faculty and advisors prepare Study Group students, academically and culturally, for a successful transition into their future studies. This is central to the delivery of our educational promise.

Our long-standing commitment to the specific needs of international students, alongside close collaboration with partners and a dedication to responsible recruitment, enables us, year after year, to attain the highest rates of degree entry success.

In the UK, Study Group is now the largest single provider of international students into the HE sector. In Australia, we are the largest private provider for the prestigious Group of Eight Universities.

Across the world, universities are repositioning themselves to address the fast-changing global environment. Their development of international student recruitment and retention strategies moves more urgently to the fore. We at Study Group are making it our business to secure shared futures through the transformative power of partnership.

Study Group provides high quality educational opportunities for 50,000 students every year from over 120 countries.

Language for life

studygroup.cominnovation

Study Group’s reputation is founded as much on the quality of the learning experience as on learning outcomes – and on our ability to excel in both.

We are investing progressively in the development of state-of-the-art teaching and residential facilities around the world: purpose-built campuses which provide students and staff with stimulating work and study environments and set new benchmarks for our industry.

Newly refurbished Study Centres have been completed in Sydney, Melbourne, Boston, Los Angeles, New York and, most recently, in Brighton, UK: a stunning, award-winning development in the heart of the city.

Digital technologies have yet to make their full impact on the international education sector. Study Group is leading the way in investing in more flexible, contemporary learner-centred methodologies that, as well as increasing learning efficiency, enhance the learner experience by ensuring Study Group programmes fully engage and excite the ‘digital generation’.

Across the group, the effectiveness of our teachers remains central. Our success in this is everywhere evident in regular surveys, innumerable expressions of student and parent satisfaction and, ultimately, in our year-on-year growth.

It is evident, too, in our outstanding examination results. These consistently place our Bellerbys and Taylors Colleges in the top-tier performance tables in both the UK and Australia.

Teaching quality is additionally confirmed by a wide range of independent accreditation bodies. They demand, as we do, the highest levels of quality and service. 95% of our teachers are educated to degree standard and above.

Study Group employs over 1,500 people worldwide. Our teachers, academic directors, sales and marketing staff, customer service specialists and student counsellors bring commitment and passion to everything we do.

Executive and senior management teams contain acknowledged experts in education and industry. All share a belief in the values which define and drive us.

The welfare and success of our students is at the core of these values. The company’s unique Study Care insurance provides comprehensive security from the moment students leave home to the time they return. Dedicated staff at each Study Centre are experienced in supporting a pluralistic, multinational student body.

The caring support of experienced faculty and advisors prepares Study Group students, academically and culturally, for a successful transition into their future studies. Study Group

Study Group recognises its immediate and long term responsibilities to the environment. Our Green Office programmes, our centre maintenance and construction practices and our carbon offset policies, are among an expanding range of staff-developed initiatives designed to ensure that we continually improve the environmental impact of our global activities.

Daily interaction with communities across the world sustains our acute awareness of disparities in educational provision and of our obligation, as global educators, to try to make a difference.

Following the Asian Tsunami, we established a new charity called Building Futures, collaborating with Plan International. We committed ourselves to the long-term funding of new school construction in disadvantaged regions.

Our conviction is that, over time, this will contribute to the increased vitality of those communities and to the quality of life opportunities for future generations.

2Zounzounkanme Primary School, Zounzounkanme, Republic of Benin Key statistics: six grades, three blocks of classrooms, 452 pupils – 255 boys and 197 girls.Work completed: August 2007. Support provided: construction of primary school building, including a three-classroom block, a library, a principal’s office and the provision of books, furniture, a water tank and teacher training.Summary: before intervention in 2006, the village primary school had no latrines. It also had neither the furniture nor resources to provide a quality education and motivation was low among both teachers and pupils. The school’s 6 teachers received little formal training and struggled to react to the high absence and dropout rates. The construction, furnishing and equipping of the primary school, and the training of approximately 400 teachers from the whole district, resulted in an improvement to the standard of teaching in 66 villages across the region.

SD Saney School Aceh, IndonesiaKey statistics: 200 of 700 residents survived the Asian tsunami.Work completed: November 2006. Support provided: complete school reconstruction – 6 classrooms, 1 office, 3 teacher’s accommodation rooms and a prayer room.Summary: being on the west coast, facing the epicentre of the earthquake and tsunami in December 2004, the school was utterly destroyed and the death toll hit the local community hard with only 200 of its 700 residents surviving. The effects of this event were devastating, with only 42 of 130 pupils surviving and of these 13 were orphaned and 15 lost one parent. The completion of the project has resulted in a new school building, an increase in attendance, and sustainable high quality education.

3The Rozalina Zaiden School, Codó Nova, BrazilKey statistic: population of 25,000.Work completed: August 2008.Support provided: construction of 4 new classrooms and a computer room.Summary: Codó Nova is an urban slum characterised by a lack of urban services, high illiteracy rates, low educational enrolment, violence and widespread drug and alcohol use. Children have very few options in terms of livelihoods and futures. The Rozalina Zaiden School suffered from overcrowding, with children having to go to school in shifts, and 300 children in the area receiving no education at all due to a lack of resources.

Xiao Feng Primary School, Liu Shu, China Key statistics: up to 45 children crowded into each classroom; children of pre-school and grade two sharing the same class.Work to commence: 2009. Support provided: construction of a 2-story building. There will be 6 classrooms, one for each of grades one to four and preschool class as well as a computer room.Summary: on the outskirts of the Szechuan province earthquake zone, this project will have a huge impact on each of the 186 students currently at the school, as well as the 10 teachers. The funding will improve the overall school environment, providing better opportunities for learning through better quality teaching and resources. The health of the students and teachers will also be significantly improved.
