Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing — Art History

«I'm still grateful that my unconventional dream was taken seriously»

Art history is a fairly rare major, and I'd almost made peace with being turned down or steered toward something more "practical." UNIPROFI took it seriously from day one, reached out to the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing, and went through my portfolio piece by piece. In the end I got both an offer and a grant.

Work we did
  • · Matching an art-history program
  • · Help with documents and strengthening the portfolio
  • · Cost-of-living and housing advice for Beijing
  • · Getting on a grant
  • · Support through the move

«They're the ones who noticed my passport was expiring too soon»

I had zero spare time between work and a hundred documents and notarized translations. UNIPROFI took almost all of that off my plate — I just had to send documents over. They're also the ones who noticed my passport would expire before the filing deadline required — I'd never have caught that myself.

Work we did
  • · Assessing profile strengths and choosing a program
  • · Portfolio review
  • · Checking and assembling the document package
  • · Fast support right up to the deadlines

Harbin Institute of Technology

«They untangled everything I'd messed up on the CSC portal in two days»

I figured I'd handle the CSC portal myself, and a few days before the deadline I realized I was completely lost. I reached out to UNIPROFI in a bit of a panic — they double-checked every field on the form. An offer from Harbin Institute of Technology arrived a month later.

Work we did
  • · Case review and admissions strategy
  • · Step-by-step document assembly support
  • · Consultations at every filing stage
  • · Support through to the offer

Nanjing University of Finance and Economics

«In an unfamiliar city, that turned out to be incredibly valuable — like having someone who'd already walked this path»

I started with zero Chinese, just wanting to try. They honestly told me a prep language year was worth doing first, and it turned out to be the right call. After the language year they helped me move onto the main program, connected me with Russian-speaking students already in Nanjing, and explained how to open a bank card and where to look for housing.

Work we did
  • · Case review and document translation
  • · Document package assembly
  • · Housing search
  • · Bachelor's admission after the language year
  • · Support through to the offer

Shanghai University of Finance and Economics

«Attention to detail turned out to be the deciding factor in my situation»

My situation wasn't typical — I have two degrees, and had no idea which one to submit without confusing the admissions committee. UNIPROFI reached out to the university themselves, clarified how to present both degrees in one application, and put together a package that pre-empted the committee's likely questions.

Work we did
  • · Case review and document translation
  • · Document package assembly
  • · Consultations at every filing stage
  • · Support through to the offer

Zhejiang University — scholarship

«With the right support, it turns out to be a manageable path, without the horror I'd imagined»

When I first started figuring out admissions, my head was a mess — university hierarchy, the quota system, what to even write in a statement of purpose. UNIPROFI patiently explained everything from scratch and showed me what a genuinely strong application looks like. I ended up with a scholarship at Zhejiang University.

Work we did
  • · Admissions strategy for Zhejiang University
  • · Document package assembly
  • · Strengthening the portfolio
  • · Multi-round motivation letter work

  • · Visa consultations

Nankai University — Economics

«It was that specificity, not pretty promises like other companies make, that convinced me to go for it»

Deciding to study abroad at thirty isn't the same as doing it right after university. UNIPROFI matched me with an economics program at Nankai University, helped me build a business plan for a grant application step by step, and gave me realistic housing-cost figures for Tianjin so I understood the finances clearly.

Work we did
  • · Matching an economics program
  • · Help building a business plan for the grant
  • · Cost-of-living advice for Tianjin
  • · Support through the move

Xiamen University — scholarship

«It was one of the most intense and happiest periods of my life»

When I started gathering documents myself, I quickly realized I was drowning — 11th-grade transcripts, notarized translation, strict visa-photo requirements. UNIPROFI took on the hardest part while explaining exactly why each document was needed. I'm now on a scholarship at Xiamen University, living by the sea.

Work we did
  • · Reviewing document requirements
  • · Preparing and checking documents
  • · Scholarship application strategy
  • · Personal mentor support throughout
  • · Support through to the scholarship

Tongji University — Master's, Engineering

«It was that specificity that ultimately convinced me to go for it»

I was sure a master's in China wasn't for someone with an average GPA like me. UNIPROFI didn't just help gather documents — they sat down with me and worked out what to improve, which project to feature in my portfolio, how to handle a video interview. They even mapped out likely questions — several of which actually came up.

Work we did
  • · Profile review and choosing an engineering program
  • · Portfolio review
  • · Video-interview prep
  • · Document package assembly
  • · Support right up to the deadlines

Beijing Language and Culture University

«I still fondly remember how patiently they worked with me at every step»

I'd carried the idea of studying in China for a long time without daring to start — it felt like without strong Chinese and experience with paperwork, I'd drown in the process. I rewrote my motivation letter three times, and each time got specific feedback on what to improve. I've now lived in Beijing for six months.

Work we did
  • · Diploma review and document translation
  • · Motivation letter work (3 rounds)
  • · Document package assembly
  • · Consultations at every filing stage
  • · Support through to the offer
