Education consultancy
From the age of four through to university and doctoral study, we plan education in the United Kingdom and Dubai from end to end. Choosing the school, the application file, interview preparation, accommodation and settling in are all handled in one place.
Note: admission criteria, places and term calendars differ from school to school. Visa matters are regulated and are handled by an authorised immigration adviser.
Earlier than you think. At sought after schools in the United Kingdom places close one to two years ahead, and preparation for the 11+ and 13+ exams begins earlier still. At undergraduate level the UCAS calendar, and at doctoral level the correspondence with a supervisor, both pull the process forward.
Starting early widens the choice and leaving it late narrows the list. You do not need to prepare anything for the first conversation; we look at where things stand together.

How does the process work?
We move in five steps. At every stage we tell you what has been done and what comes next.
1. Hedef ve Profil Analizi
The student’s age, academic record, the family’s goals and the budget are weighed together.
2. Shortlist of schools and programmes
A realistic list is drawn up on suitability, location and the likelihood of an offer.
3. Preparing the file
Documents, statements and references are prepared to the standard the school expects.
4. Application and follow up
The applications go in, the process is followed step by step and you are kept regularly informed.
5. After the offer
Accommodation, settling in and visa coordination, and planning the next stage.
The questions we hear most
In the United Kingdom the Early Years and Reception stage begins at four, so planning can start from the age of three. Places at popular schools fill early, which makes starting early decisive.
No, no such right arises directly. The child’s education plan and the family’s residence plan are separate processes; they can be designed together but one does not automatically deliver the other. For the visa side we refer you to an authorised immigration adviser.
It depends on your residence status, your budget and the child’s needs. State schools are free but usually admit on catchment address. Independent schools charge fees and involve entrance exams and interviews. We assess both and give you a comparative shortlist.
It varies by stage. At independent schools applications usually open a year ahead, and preparation for 11+ and 13+ exams starts earlier still. For undergraduate places the UCAS calendar governs. At doctoral level, correspondence with supervisors can take months.
Yes. We focus on the UK and Dubai and can assess school and university options in both countries together.
No. Admission is decided by the schools and universities, based on places available, academic criteria and the interview. Our job is to present the strongest, most complete file, build a realistic list and run the process properly.
Tell us your child’s age, their current school and your goal, and we will work out the suitable options and the calendar together.
