What's included
Every line here is something we hand you. Nothing on this page is a maybe.
Before the applications
- The shortlist built together on a call, eight to twelve universities
- Your grade conversion, recognition status and channel per university, settled at the start
- A dated season plan working back from your intake’s real deadlines
During the applications
- Every application file checked before you submit it
- Your motivation letter and CV line-edited, same depth as the Application Review
- uni-assist and VPD questions answered as they come up, by email
After the admit
- Blocked account set up with you, provider chosen and funding sequence timed
- The visa document pack assembled item by item
- Calls whenever your case needs one, including the appointment prep
If it does not land
- No admission from this intake? We run the next one with you at no extra cost
- Changed your mind in the first 7 days, before the work starts? Full refund, no argument
How it runs, start to finish
- 1
You book, and we set up the first call
An email lands within minutes asking for your documents and two or three windows that suit you. We confirm a time, usually the same working day, and that call is where the shortlist gets built and the season gets dated. Five places per intake keep this honest: if the current one is full, we say so and offer the next.
- 2
The season runs with someone beside you
You stay the applicant: you submit, you sign, you sit the interviews. We check every file before it goes, and when something comes up we get on a call. There is no call budget to ration.
- 3
Admit to appointment
Blocked account, insurance choice, the visa pack, and a call to prepare the appointment itself. The goal is simple: nothing in your file surprises the counter. And if this intake brings no admission, we do the next one with you for free.
What we need from you
- Transcripts, certificates and your language status up front
- Responsiveness: the season has real deadlines, and a file we cannot check in time is a file that goes out unchecked
- Honesty about constraints (budget, cities, family), because the shortlist is built around them
Is this the right size for your case?
The wrong level wastes your money and our time. Both columns are here for that reason.
This is for you if
- You want a named person on your case for the whole intake, not a one-off deliverable
- The deadlines, channels and paperwork are more than your evenings can absorb
- You have been burned by an agency and want help that earns nothing from any university
- You would rather have the next intake covered than gamble everything on this one
Pick something else if
- You mostly need the method and the confidence to run it yourself. The kit covers the whole route, chapter by chapter.
- You only need the shortlist settled. The Admission Fit Report does exactly that.
- You only need the file checked before submission. The Application Review is the right size.
Costs that stay yours
Third-party fees go to the institutions directly; no package here or anywhere can include them.
- uni-assist fees: €75 for the first programme, €30 each additional, per semester
- The APS fee, set per country by your APS office
- Language test fees (IELTS, TOEFL, TestDaF, Goethe, telc)
- Sworn translations and notarised copies
- Couriers, where a university still wants paper
- The €75 national visa fee and blocked account provider fees
Questions people ask before buying
Do you apply on my behalf?
No, you stay the applicant everywhere: the portals, uni-assist, the embassy. What changes the outcome is that everything you submit has been checked first. Logging in as you is the part agencies get wrong, and it is the part that gets files rejected.
Why only a small batch each intake?
Accompanying a season properly costs real hours per case: the shortlist call, every file checked, the visa pack, the prep call, and however many calls your case throws up. We cap the batch so the checking never becomes a rubber stamp.
What happens if I get no admission?
We run the next intake with you at no extra cost. Nobody can promise a university says yes, and be careful with anyone who does, but we can promise we do not walk away after one attempt. There is also a 7-day window after booking where you can pull out for a full refund if you change your mind before the work starts.
Which costs stay mine?
All third-party fees: uni-assist (€75 first programme, €30 each additional), your country’s APS fee, language tests, sworn translations, couriers, the €75 visa fee and the blocked account provider’s fees. None of these pass through us.
Or hand over the whole season
You stop making a single decision alone this season.
An email lands within minutes naming exactly what to send. A person reads what you send back, and the questions it raises stay open until they are answered.
€599, once. No account to create.
