For the USA, a good place to start is the Fulbright Commission.
For Australia or New Zealand, a useful site to visit is www.studyoptions.com.
For Ireland, go to the Central Applications Office at www.cao.ie.
Another useful lead is The Association of Commonwealth Universities - tel 020 7380 6700.
The British Council also offers advice, visit www.educationuk.org.
The embassies of other countries will usually be happy to provide guidance.

There are also lots of courses and exchange schemes in this country that offer opportunities to study abroad. Individual universities and colleges will be able to inform your daughter about these. She will need to check that the qualifications she gains will be relevant to any work that she hopes to do after graduating.
