Suffolk is known for its hospitable and friendly nature and the area provides a mixture of dynamic urban centres, coastal resorts and historic market towns.

SI-UK's service is fast, reliable and efficient. Their consultants are specialists, working closely with all UK universities and, through my consultants' advice and application assistance, I was able to receive offers from my favoured universities.
