Under the new partnership, the institutions can accept international students from 16 years old who have completed US grade 9 or equivalent, allowing them to complete high school and receive college credits at the same time.

“It’s clear that many students are looking to save time and to complete their degrees as quickly as possible,” said Jonathan Whitehouse, vice president of global recruitment at University Bridge.

“With that in mind, and acting on feedback from our key recruitment markets, we are delighted to start working with Shoreline Community College on this exciting endeavour. We look forward to helping even more students achieve their elite US college dreams.”

University Bridge has a decade of experience in helping students into elite universities, sending over 80% of its pupils to the top 50 US institutions.

It has a transfer admissions guarantee, where after two years at one of the college campuses, or gaining a minimum of 60 credits, students transfer with third-year status to one of more than 200 universities.

These transfer admissions guarantees are state-level agreements between its host campuses and participating universities, many of which are top US institutions.

Shoreline students have transferred to several prestigious institutions, such as Cornell, University of Washington, UCLA, UC Berkeley and Michigan.

Under the partnership, University Bridge also offers its CollegeCare and high-end accommodation in Seattle, as well as a new guardianship service offered to all students and required for those under 18 years of age.

The CollegeCare support system is designed with international students in mind, providing the help they need when living and studying in a new culture.
