ACISC University Connection Registry
Explore international higher education by connecting your academic interests, preferred study destinations and future plans with participating universities and colleges.
The ACISC University Connection Registry creates a structured connection point between students exploring international study and participating higher education institutions seeking to engage with prospective students.
Students can identify the fields of study and destinations that interest them, while participating institutions can use that information to make relevant educational connections and provide information about potential study opportunities.
Connect Students With International Higher Education
Choosing where and what to study is an important educational decision. Students increasingly explore universities across borders, compare different educational systems and consider programs that correspond with their academic interests and future plans.
The ACISC University Connection Registry helps organize that exploration by creating a connection between interested students and participating higher education institutions.
Students provide relevant information about their study interests and preferred destinations. Participating institutions can then identify students whose interests may correspond with educational opportunities they provide.

Think about the subjects you enjoy, the qualification you want to pursue, possible destinations, educational environment, cost, student support and longer-term academic or professional goals.
A more focused profile can help participating universities understand what information may be relevant to you.
