  • "What was supposed to be a smooth entry into Ireland for my daughter turned into a nightmare when a visa requirement was issued just six weeks before our departure. Thankfully, I engaged the services of Sable International Study Abroad, who guided us through every step of the process. They went above and beyond to ensure our visa application was submitted on time, skilfully handling all the curveballs that came our way. I can’t recommend their services enough!"

FAQs Commonly Asked in Zambia

1. Does Sable International offer scholarships or funding?

Sable International does not provide scholarships or funding directly. However, many of our partner universities offer partial scholarships to international students, often as tuition discounts ranging from 5% to 20%. These may be merit-based or available simply for international applicants. Some universities also provide higher-value scholarships, which students can apply for independently.

2. Can I work while studying abroad?

Yes, in most countries, international students are allowed to work while studying. Typically, this means up to 20 hours per week during term time and full-time during breaks, though exact rules vary by country and visa type.

3. Will the school help students find a job?

Most universities offer a career or job hub where students can access job opportunities and support to explore part-time or graduate roles.

4. Are standardised tests like the SAT or IELTS compulsory?

Requirements vary by country and university. IELTS may be waived in the UK or Canada if you studied in English, SATs may be optional in the USA, and IELTS or PTE is usually required in Australia and New Zealand. Some universities accept alternative proof of English, but certain countries, like the UK, may still require IELTS for visa purposes.

5. What is the most affordable study abroad destination?

For Zambian students, the most affordable destinations are typically Malaysia, Mauritius, and the UK (especially foundation or pathway programmes).

6. How long does the visa process take?

Visa processing times vary by country and season, but generally take between one and three months. We recommend starting your application early to avoid delays.

7. Which intakes are available, and when should I apply?

The main intakes are January/February and September, with some countries offering additional intakes in May or July. We recommend applying six to nine months in advance to ensure a smooth process.
