Overseas Study Center (OSC) was founded in 1996 and has its first office on jalan Mawar 41, Surabaya. OSC is an education consultant agency which helps students who want to study overseas. We assist students in applying to schools, processing their student visas, arranging suitable accommodations, arranging airport pick-ups, as well as making air-ticket reservations for them & their parents who sometime accompany them to come for the destination countries for the first time.
In 1996, its focus was on students who wanted to continue their study in USA because at that time USA was one of the most popular destination for Indonesian students. In addition, OSC also helped students who wanted to continue their study in Australia and Singapore.
In 1999-2001, we decided to add Germany on the list of countries we sent students to. However, since the procedure and process to apply and get the invitation from a German’s institution could take a long time, longer compared to other countries, OSC Director, Mrs. Linda Irianto, has decided to discontinue the sending students to study in Germany. Instead, in 2002, OSC has made agreements with some institutions from Malaysia and New Zealand.
Furthermore, in early 2003, OSC has built a partnership with an Australia education agent, DK Science and Learning, to help taking care of our students, whom we send to continue their study in Australia. We establish this partnership in order to increase our service performances towards our students and to widen our connections there. Although they have been accepted by schools of their choices and start the school life, we will still be there to help if they need any assistance, such as extending the student visa, finding new accommodations, advising about how to find part-time jobs, etc.
Since 2015, OSC has focused on recruiting students to study in New Zealand because New Zealand is one of the best places in the world to live and study.
