Teaching and listening
Years of language education taught us that every student arrives with a different ambition and a different family behind them.
About University Abroad
Built from years of teaching. Shaped by what students asked next.
Since 2007, our schools have helped students prepare for study in English. University Abroad grew from the guidance they needed after the language test.
Our story
It began with students we already knew.
We have worked with students through our own schools since 2007. Every year, we help dozens prepare for and pass IELTS Academic or an equivalent language requirement. For some, that test was only the beginning of a much bigger question: Where should I study, and how do I get there?
We started helping those students and their families personally. We talked through courses, countries and applications, and the help made a difference. Over time, we saw that they needed a clearer place to turn to: one point of contact, a structured plan and practical tools alongside a real person.
That is why we created University Abroad. It grew from the work we were already doing, with more time, structure and attention for each family.
THE TURNING POINT
Passing the test opened the door. It did not choose the path.
Students still had to understand degrees, entry routes, fees, housing and what life might feel like far from home. We wanted them and their parents to have somewhere to bring all those questions together, online and with us in person where that is part of their agreed support.
Helping beyond the exam
Students asked us to help make sense of universities, applications and the practical move abroad.
A home for that work
Personal guidance now sits alongside written plans and tools that families can explore for themselves.
The people around the plan
Our perspective was built across borders.
Between us, we have lived in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands. That experience shapes how we listen to a student imagining a different language, education system and daily life. It does not replace checking the current facts for their chosen university.

Mary and George
We bring years of teaching and personal work with students into the university decision. We want the student’s own ambitions to lead while parents have room to ask what the choice will mean in practice.
Victoria Galván
Victoria is Spanish and based in the Netherlands. She is part of our wider circle and can contribute local perspective when it is relevant to an agreed family plan.
People in other places
We also have collaborators in Paris and Australia. We confirm who will be involved and what support is available for each family; a connection abroad is not a promise of an office or in-person service everywhere.
Family conversations are available in English, Spanish and Italian.
What University Abroad gives families today
People, a plan and tools to make the next step clearer.
We help families compare real possibilities, organise applications and prepare for the move. The student stays at the centre. Our tools make questions tangible; our advisers help interpret what the family finds and identify what a university or official authority must confirm.
