The United Kingdom

 

We have a strong experience advising students considering studies in the UK and applying to programmes at British universities. We have encouraged and prepared many students to join some of the most prestigious undergraduate and master’s degrees programmes in the land. Following their admission, we have accompanied some of them on their journey through higher education. Our students have submitted applications and, more often than not, been admitted to leading programmes in:

 

• Politics, philosophy & economics at University College London (UCL), King's College London, London School of Economics LSE and the University of Oxford and Exeter,

 

• Mathematics & economics at LSE and Cambridge University,

 

• Social sciences or psychology at LSE and the Universities of Bath and Edinburgh,

 

• Arts or art history at Central Saint Martins, St Andrews University and Queen Mary University of London,

 

• Law, humanities or journalism at UCL, Royal Holloway of London and the Universities of Durham, Cardiff and Westminster,

 

• Engineering & sciences at Imperial College London, Heriot-Watt University, the University of Bristol, the University of Glasgow, the University of Edinburgh, the University of Birmingham, and the universities of Leeds, Strathclyde and Cranfield,

 

• Business management & engineering at London Business School, Bayes Business School, SOAS University of London and University of Bath, Warwick, University of Manchester, Exeter, University of York,  Newcastle University and Loughborough.

 

 

 

France

 

We are highly familiar with the French education system and its multiple aspects.  

As a result, we have always been in the position to truly help students from abroad understand what is requested of them and perform well in the various courses marking their academic journey through France.

We have also, over the last fifteen years, coached hundreds of French students in levels ranging from the end of primary school to PhD and Agrégation. These pupils and students where from over 50 schools, lycées and universities, including many prestigious institutions. Defining an approach tailored specifically to each student and his or her situation, enabled many of our students to improve, over weeks and months, their grades and teachers’ appreciation as well as enhance their studying methods and develop a growing interest in learning. This has strongly contributed to making it possible for them to follow an academic course and build a professional career in line with their true aspirations.

Aside from providing strong and inside knowledge about school and university courses from Seconde (Year 11) onwards and career opportunities upon graduation, we have assisted many applicants in their self-presentation and preparation for interviews, providing them with the greatest chances to be accepted into the programme of their choice. Some of our students were admitted to the school or programme of their dreams directly after the Baccalaureate. Others enjoyed the same success later on, after receiving our help navigating the system through a preparatory class, a university course, an undergraduate school or studies abroad. Our success stories include admissions to…

• …grandes écoles in political science (Sciences Po , ILERI), business (HEC, ESCP, ESSEC, EM Lyon & EDHEC Lille, Grenoble Graduate School of Business, Paris School of Business) and engineering (ISAE-SUPAERO) at undergraduate or Master’s level,

 

• …preparatory classes to engineering schools (Math Sup, Math Spé), business schools (Prépa HEC), écoles normales supérieures & Sciences Po (Kâgne A/L & Kâgne B/L) at prestigious institutions (lycées Henri IV, Condorcet, Janson de Sailly, Saint-Louis de Gonzague (Franklin), Stanislas, Sainte-Geneviève, Fénelon Sainte-Marie, Notre-Dame du Grandchamp, Sainte-Marie de Neuilly and Intégrale Prépa),

 

• …leading programmes at prestigious universities in law at Paris I (Panthéon-Sorbonne) and Paris II (Panthéon-Assas), literature, history, philosophy and languages at Paris III (Sorbonne Nouvelle) and Paris IV (Sorbonne), economics, management and finance at Paris II and Paris Dauphine - PSL.

 

 

 

Spain

Joining the international environment of Spanish business schools is now trendy for students aspiring to develop an expertise in Management, as they make their way to the international business world through courses and internships. We have recently advised and assisted applicants to Business Administration programmes taught in English at two highly international universities: Madrid’s IE (Instituto de Empresa) Business School, renowned for its leading Global Online MBA, and ESADE, in Barcelona, which also offers a traditional MBA well-ranked worldwide. These students would join the courses to live a valuable international studying experience.  

 

 

 

 

The Netherlands

Following courses taught in English at Dutch universities has also become trendy recently, partly as an alternative to studying in the UK. This education strategy has been chosen by students and their families daunted by the recent surge of university tuition fees in post-Brexit Britain for EU, EEA and Swiss students not yet residing in the UK. The universities of Maastricht and Amsterdam enjoy a long history of attracting international students mainly for their European Studies programmes as well as their Economics and Business Economics courses. Recently, research-oriented Erasmus University Rotterdam as well as the universities of Utrecht, Leiden and Groningen have also interested some our students namely for the intellectually-fulfilling interdisciplinary courses they offer such as Liberal Arts, Behavioural & Social Sciences and Media & Culture.

 

 

 

 

Canada

As a world-renowned university, McGill has been receiving for years applications from students we have advised and assisted. In the wake of the sharp increase in tuition fees asked from EU, EEA and Swiss residents by UK universities after Brexit, Canada has emerged as a leading alternative to European students wishing to acquire an education in an English-speaking country. Also providing a bilingual education, in English and French, the universities of Toronto, Montreal and Concordia have joined McGill in increasingly becoming of interest to our students. We have successfully assisted them with the application process to these universities.

 

 

 

 

Switzerland

Some of our students attracted to a career in engineering have expressed an interest in following a Bachelor or a Master’s programme at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (also known as the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne). The University offers 13 Bachelor programmes taught in English and French either in major subjects (Maths, Physics or Chemistry), specific areas of engineering (mechanical, electrical or materials engineering, micro-engineering) or computer science. At Master’s level, our students had 29 programmes to choose from at the University.

We have also advised and supported students applying to the Ecole Hôtelière de Lausanne, also known as EHL Hospitality Business School. Notorious for attracting students from all over the world wishing to pursue a career in the field of tourism and hospitality, the prestigious school is renowned for providing a top-level preparation in English and French in all areas of hospitality management to the point of being considered today a leading business school in Europe.

 

 

 

Belgium

The Vatel School in Brussels has been of interest to all of our applicants wishing to pursue a career in the tourism and hospitality industry. It offers an excellent preparation in English and French in all aspects of hotel management. We have advised and assisted students with their applications to the Bachelor degree course as well as the MBA Graduate programme. Nestled in the European Union’s capital, the Brussels Vatel school is a leading private institution of the French Vatel group of 55 hotel management schools, established in 31 countries across the world.

 

 

 

 

Italy

Over the last ten years, many of our students have made applications to the prestigious Bocconi University in Milan and a number of them have been admitted into one of its Bachelor of Science programmes taught in English. Our students mostly elected to follow the courses titled International Economics and Management or Economics and Finance. Some, however, applied to the World Bachelor in Business 4-year programme which delivers a triple Bachelor degree from the Bocconi, the University of Southern California’s Marshall School and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, with the first two years on the Pacific rim, studying a year in each of the other two universities. As the Bocconi is one of the best-ranked universities in the world in the field of Business and Management, following one of its programmes is considered a high road for students interested in pursuing a successful international business career.

 

 

 

 

The United States of America

We have advised and assisted European students applying to undergraduate and master programmes at several universities in New York (Columbia University, NYU, Fordham, Brooklyn College), Massachusetts (MIT, Harvard Kennedy School) and California (Berkeley). Our students applied to master programmes in finance, real estate and public policy. Aside from assisting European students with their applications to American universities, we have also had the opportunity to assist students from American universities throughout their year of study in Europe. The students were on exchange programmes set up with European universities by their home university - Boston University, Amherst, Harvard, Middlebury College, Fordham, Cornell, Tufts, Georgetown or the University of Chicago.

 

 

 

 

Germany

We have advised and assisted applicants to the dual Master’s degree two-year programme offered by the Freie Universität in Berlin and Sciences Po. After a first year on Sciences Po’s campus in Nancy, achieving the Master’s in European Affairs degree by following courses in French and English, the second year is spent at Otto-Surh-Institut in Berlin. Students then follow the Master Politikwissenschaft and select courses in political theory and foundations of politics, international relations and political systems taught in German and English. The Franco-German study programme is a leading path to positions of responsibility in European and international institutions.

 

 

 

 

Ireland

Studying at an Irish university is now highly considered by European students who are interested in joining a course similar to what they would follow at a university in the UK, without paying the post-Brexit tuition fees. The new fees are asked of EU/EEA (Ireland excepted) and Swiss non-UK residents by British universities. As a result, some of our international students are now sending applications to Trinity College Dublin. The renowned university has ranked several times in the top 50 worldwide and is accustomed to counting many of its students from abroad, who make up almost a third of its student body today. We have also assisted applicants to the exchange programme between Paris III - Sorbonne Nouvelle and the University of Cork. Like Trinity College Dublin, the University of Cork is also receiving more European applications directly to its admission’s office, after enjoying a longstanding relationship with institutions across Europe owing to these exchange programmes. British and Northern Irish applicants to the universities in the Republic of Ireland continue to be considered home students after Brexit, as are students from the Republic of Ireland in the UK under the Common Travel Area (CTA), an agreement between the UK and Ireland which predates the accession of both countries to the European Union.

 

 

 

 

Norway

Some British universities have exchange programmes with the University of Oslo. We have advised, assisted and supported students on the bilateral exchange programmes spending a term following courses of their choice at the heart of the smart city of Oslo. The courses are in English and can be selected from a wide range of modules. There are beginner courses for those who wish to learn Norwegian throughout their experience in Oslo. The university is well-ranked in the world and offers an eye-opening experience into the Scandinavian world.

 

 

 

 

Denmark

The University of Copenhagen is another Scandinavian university well-ranked worldwide. It is attracting students interested in Northern countries operating within the European Union. As all the Bachelor degrees of the University are taught in Danish, our international applicants apply to study at the University at master’s level. The University offers over 50 Master’s degree programmes taught in English in just about every area of study.
