Our research
ConsultancyCheck's own assessment, from public records and the company's own materials. This is our judgement — not a summary of student reviews.
How Southern Education Group get paid
Southern Education Group does not charge students a placement fee. Like most education agents, it is paid a commission by the universities it places students into. That does not make its advice bad — but the agent is paid by the institution, not by you, so it has more financial reason to recommend a partner university than a non-partner one. Ask which universities it represents, and whether your shortlist is on that list.
