Questions

Frequently asked questions

What students and parents ask us most, answered plainly. If yours is not here, ask a counsellor directly.

Getting started

Which countries does Cube Education work with?

Eleven: Australia, Canada, the United States, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, plus South Korea, Latvia, Malta, Italy, Sweden and Norway. Each destination’s entry requirements, intakes, funds evidence and post-study work rules are tracked as they change, so you get current answers rather than general ones.

Is the first counselling session free?

Yes. The first counselling session costs nothing and carries no obligation. Bring your academic record and a rough idea of your budget, and you will leave with an honest view of your realistic options whether or not you go on to apply through us.

What should I bring to the first meeting?

Your academic transcripts and certificates, any English test score you already have, and a rough idea of your annual budget. Nothing needs to be attested at this stage; we only need enough to assess your profile accurately.

Applications & entry requirements

What are the entry requirements for the UK?

For undergraduate study, a minimum 2.4 GPA on the 4-point scale. For postgraduate, above 50% in your academic background in the related subject, plus an English score of 5.5 or higher depending on the university.

When are the intakes?

Canada runs three: September (Fall), January (Winter) and May (Summer). Intake months for the other four destinations are to be confirmed with your counsellor.

Which courses are most popular?

In Canada, nursing, information technology, engineering, hotel management and business studies. In the UK, business, health science, engineering, computer science, arts and law are the courses Nepali students most often take.

Cost & scholarships

What will it cost to live there?

It varies by country and by city, and the official minimums are revised regularly, which is why we give you current figures in the counselling session rather than publishing numbers here that would age badly. Every destination sets a living-cost amount you must evidence for the visa, on top of tuition. Your counsellor works through the full picture for your shortlist, in writing.

Are scholarships available?

Yes. UK universities offer a range of financial support including merit-based scholarship programmes for international students. We match you against the awards you actually qualify for and help you make the case.

How do I find out what a course or class costs?

Ask us directly, and we will give you current figures in writing. Tuition, living costs and class fees move with policy and exchange rates, so we deliberately do not publish numbers on this site that would be out of date by the time you read them. Your counsellor will walk you through the full expected cost of your specific plan, covering tuition, living, visa and test fees, before you commit to anything.

Test preparation

Do you prepare students for IELTS and PTE?

Both, through PTE Class Nepal, Cube Group’s test-preparation brand. Classes are delivered by QEAC-certified instructors and cover the full LSRW cycle, with every question type in each section worked through. Online classes are available, and orientation sessions on studying abroad are built into the course.

Should I take IELTS on computer or on paper?

On computer there are test dates up to seven days a week, twice a day, with results in five to seven days. On paper there are 48 test dates a year and results take about 13 days. Both offer Academic and General Training modules, and your counsellor will confirm which your target universities accept.

Can I work while I study?

In most of our destinations, yes: typically part-time during term and full-time during scheduled breaks, with the exact hours set by your visa conditions. Post-study work rights differ meaningfully between the eleven and are one of the things worth weighing when you choose. Your counsellor will confirm the current rules for the country you are applying to.

Still have a question?

Counselling exists for exactly this. Bring every question. There is no such thing as one too basic.
