Help choosing a university abroad

If you want help choosing a university abroad, our shortlist service gives you a clear starting point. We look at your academic and career goals, your personal preferences and your budget, research and compare schools, colleges and universities, and give you a shortlist of the institutions that match your requirements and expectations. We help students who are considering the UK, the Netherlands, Germany, Spain and other countries. The service has a fixed price of €150.

What’s included

• Needs and goals analysis. We identify your academic and career goals, as well as your personal preferences and your budget.
• Education market research. We gather and analyse information on different schools, colleges and universities.
• Institution comparison. We assess programmes, reputation, facilities and opportunities for internships and employment.
• Personalised recommendations. A shortlist of institutions that match your requirements and expectations.
• Next steps for your application. Guidance on the documents, application forms and any entrance exams for the institutions on your shortlist.

Why it helps

Choosing where to study abroad often means comparing countries with different education systems, different application routes and different costs. A shortlist built around your situation helps you:

• take all your preferences and circumstances into account when choosing an institution;
• rely on specialists who are familiar with the requirements and specifics of different institutions;
• spend less time searching, with quick access to checked information and recommendations;
• focus your applications on institutions that suit your goals.

How it works

1. Tell us about yourself. Your current studies, the subject you want to study, the countries you are considering, your budget and when you want to start.
2. We confirm the timeline. The price is fixed. We confirm the timeline before you pay, based on your university deadlines.
3. You pay. By card through a payment link, or by bank transfer. All prices are in euros.
4. Analysis and research. We look at your goals and preferences and research the institutions that could fit.
5. Comparison and shortlist. We compare the options and send you your personalised shortlist.
6. Next steps. We go through the shortlist with you and explain what each application will involve.

The final choice is yours

We give you research, comparisons and recommendations; you decide where to apply. Admission decisions are made by the institutions themselves, and we cannot guarantee an offer from any of them.

Not sure what to study yet?

If you have not chosen a subject, start one step earlier. Our career guidance and help choosing a degree subject (€150) uses tests and interviews to identify your strengths and interests, and our help choosing a specific course (€100) compares courses by quality, cost, duration and other criteria. You can find both in the services section of our homepage.

If you only need a conversation about your options, an expert consultation (€50 per session) is a good first step.

After the shortlist

Once you know where you are applying, we can help with the next stages: university application help, a document check and Personal Statement feedback.
