West 1 International :Your mentor to higher education in the UK

West 1 International is Sri Lanka's premier mentor and consultant for students seeking higher education in the United Kingdom. With years of experience and hundreds of contented students in its portfolio, West 1 International offers a comprehensive and specialised consultancy service to students wishing to pursue their higher studies in UK.

In today's highly competitive world where students are offered a mind boggling array of opportunities, it is increasingly difficult to narrow down the available choices. It is of paramount importance that a first time applicant receives the correct advice and information to make the decision making process easier - just the kind of guidance offered by West 1 International.

West 1 International has been the officially appointed representative of some of the leading universities around UK. Among them are University of Westminster, Royal Holloway, University of London, London Metropolitan University, University of Bedfordshire, University of Glamorgan and Manchester Metropolitan University. These Universities have an excellent combination of subject areas both at Graduate and Masters Levels. West 1 International also represents leading colleges such as South Thames College, London City College and Cavendish College. These are all accredited "Grade A" Colleges which are approved by The British High Commission as per its requirements.

Among the range of services offered by West 1 International are spot admissions, University / College interview sessions in Sri Lanka; helping students to select courses most suitable for their future career needs, their qualifications and backgrounds; helping them with university application procedures; offering advance entry to students who have prior academic or professional qualifications, arranging accommodation as per the students' requests, professional step-by-step guidance on student visa applications under the new point-based system, advising prospective students on the real financial requirements and advising students about adapting to lifestyles in UK.

More recently West 1 International further broad based its scope of activity to include IELTS, thus giving students an added benefit. It is now a Registration Centre for the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) by the British Council in Colombo. This appointment was made following a methodical and careful scrutiny of the quality of services offered by West 1 International. IELTS preparation classes are conducted by a qualified lecturer while free workshops and IELTS training sessions are also done.

Established in Sri Lanka in February 2001, West 1 International is headed by its dynamic Managing Director Anusha Hewage, a specialist in the field of Educational Consultation. Once a student herself in UK, her extensive and first hand experience of living, studying and later working there, gives her an edge over others when it comes to advising students. Her professional studies in UK enabled her to gain employment with major companies in London, including stints at the Midland Bank and the Audi Group of Companies.

Furthermore, working for over six years at the University of Westminster has greatly helped her to understand the needs of today's students and effectively address their problems. Locally, she has very successfully passed the Education UK Agents' Examination conducted by the British Council Sri Lanka. Joining her at West 1 International is her team of well trained and dedicated consultants who impart professional guidance to prospective students.

"I firmly believe that students need a great deal of patient guidance when choosing a UK based institution for higher studies. This is a significant decision in their lives and it is thus vital that they receive honest, professional advice to help ensure that they make the best decision for their future. I'm happy to say my own personal, first hand experience in UK enables me to share it all with our clients. This is why we at West 1 International give our clients a tailor-made approach to apply for their further studies in the UK," Anusha Hewage says.
