Keep their eyes open and choose to study in the informal intermediary

A few days ago, the British University of Newcastle dismissal of 50 counterfeit Chinese students studying in the application aroused our concern. Britain's Newcastle University International Admissions officials Naomi Allum said that in the future will be marked on the website of the University of the Chinese students signed an intermediary list, in order to Chinese students. As a result, the legitimate choice of study abroad students is very important intermediary.

Legal intermediary "four cards" complete

Legitimate intermediate students should have two important documents: first, by the Ministry of Education issued a "study abroad at their own expense, intermediary service organizations eligible for Certificate" and the other is the business sector note issued by the "intermediary services, to study" the business license. Third, should also have a legitimate intermediary in the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Public Security, Administration for Industry and Commerce of the record number of students intermediary services agreement, as well as 5-100000 yuan of imprest. In this way, if the damage to the interests of consumers, according to the law can claim to the intermediary. Fourth, the study's co-operation with the intermediary between the school should have a signed agreement, and at the same time be able to produce in the schools of our country's embassy certification (the world's leading institutions).

Be careful to choose an intermediary sub -

There is not more than documents, study all the intermediary actions are legitimate, the norm. In practice, consumer choice, but also pay attention to the intermediary's business license on the place of registration and operating locations are the same. If there is a company registered address, but even in a few places over the office or offices, there may have sub-contracted or (refers to the number of illegal and legal name of the individual students in the name of an intermediary to engage in Intermediation) ingredients. Such irregularities, it is difficult to guarantee quality of service.

International exchange is not necessarily the intermediary

I see a lot of consumers, "a country in a school in the Office of the Chinese" or "an agent of multinational companies in China," often think that they can apply for study abroad or operational procedures. In fact, this time as long as they look at the business license to operate the scope. According to the "study abroad at their own expense, management of intermediary services," the study intermediary business, including: the relevant information and legal advice, charge d'affaires to apply for admission to provide visa services for pre-departure training. While some agencies may be other aspects of the international exchange business, but its business license as long as there is no study of these intermediary business, it is not legitimate to study the intermediary.

Should be entered into a formal agreement

For study abroad in the process of intermediary services, must be signed with the agency "to study abroad intermediary services agreement." The agreement of the Ministry of Education to have the numbers. Despite the different agencies to study the specific content of the agreement will not be exactly the same, but on the whole, the agreement should include the following: 1. To help consumers choose the country and schools; 2. To help consumers prepare to apply for Materials; 3. For consumers to process visas for pre-training; 4. Consumer school admission, students should be responsible for arranging to send intermediaries, Jiezhan, or host family accommodation; 5. If the students go to the minors, Intermediate students should also be in charge of foreign guardian.

In addition, consumers also pay attention to the signing of an agreement when the intermediary of the signatories to the area if they have any legal representative of the power of attorney. End to pay in fees should not forget that after the formal request invoices, receipts and not. In the selection of students and schools should know whether the intermediaries with the school signed a cooperation agreement effective, whether it be the school's quality of China's embassies and consulates in the certification, and I asked intermediaries to produce embassies and consulates abroad Certification of documents.

False material will be canceled degree

Finally, consumers in the submission of the application, be sure to guarantee the authenticity of the material, or to their legal rights are not protected. In the former British Embassy Counselor Education Professor Wang Baizhe said in the faith level, there is provision in British universities, that is, retain the right to review the background of the students, once found to have deceived the cheating, would be granted a degree of recovery.
