Student stories

UniXperts students studying abroad

Henal Akshay Patel

โ€œI had a great experience working with UniXperts throughout my New Zealand study visa process. The entire team was very supportive, professional, and guided me at every step with clear and accurate information.โ€

Henal Akshay Patel
Master of AI Integrated IT Solutions ยท Future Skills University, Auckland
Mayank Muwal

โ€œMy first visa application was rejected, and I even consulted a few immigration lawyers who told me to wait at least a year before reapplying. But UniXperts didn't give up on me. They reworked my case, and within just 2 months I got my visa approved.โ€

FAQs

Questions, answered

No. Most master's courses accept any degree with a solid quantitative component - engineering, maths, statistics, economics, commerce with maths, physics, even psychology with statistics. What they check is whether you have done university-level maths and some programming. If you have not, there are conversion courses that start from scratch, and your counsellor will point you to those rather than an application that will be rejected.
