Webinar 4 June: "How do I apply to Europe's top universities successfully?"

Not only the global political developments and tougher visa regulations in the US have led more and more talented school graduates looking for alternatives. Over the past few years, top European universities like Bocconi in Milan, IE University in Madrid, well-known universities in the Netherlands, and Copenhagen Business School have been gaining a lot more attention. They offer excellent education, international networks, and attractive career opportunities—often at lower costs and with a transparent application process. But how exactly does the application process at Europe’s leading universities work? What requirements need to be met, what do the universities value most, and how can applicants stand out from the crowd?

This is what our webinar “How do I successfully apply to Europe’s top universities?” is all about, taking place on Wednesday, June 4th, 2025 at 6:00pm (CET). Our guest is David Hawkins, founder of The University Guys. Since 2014, he has accompanied hundreds of international applications each year across Europe through his growing network of experts and knows exactly what matters.

Looking Beyond the Classroom – 3 Pathways to Personal Growth Outside of School

There are countless opportunities for students to gain meaningful experiences beyond the standard curriculum. Here are three inspiring examples:

Competitions:
Our student Elina Q took part in the Harvard Crimson Global Essay Competition during her stay at Bromsgrove School and was awarded second place in the Creative category. Her essay, “When We Turned Into Numbers,” explored the importance of individuality in a conformist world. Read more here

The HCGEC is an international, fully virtual writing competition for ambitious high school students. Early registration for the 2026 edition is already open!

Extracurricular Research Projects:
Pioneer Academics gives students the opportunity to pursue independent research projects before even starting university—on a level typically reserved for undergraduates. Working in small, international cohorts, students collaborate with university professors to produce scholarly research papers.

The program specifically welcomes students who may not yet have a fixed academic path but bring a range of interests and an openness to explore them further. What’s needed is curiosity and a willingness to engage with unfamiliar topics—not a pre-defined specialization. Learn more in the podcast with The University Guys

Future-Ready Skills:
Startup Sherpas empowers young people to gain hands-on work experience through practical innovation projects. In six-week “SuperSquads,” students tackle real-world challenges for companies, develop ideas, and pitch their solutions – and they even get paid for their work!

Participants acquire essential 21st-century skills such as communication, teamwork, and creativity. The best part: the program is open to all students, regardless of academic performance. More information

We offer comprehensive guidance on British boarding schools

Choosing the right school for a stay in the UK can be a significant challenge. It’s not just about finding a school with the right academic, athletic, and artistic programs—it’s also about considering the school's ethos, values, size, and location.

Our goal is to understand your child's aspirations, strengths, and interests in order to identify schools that are the best match for them.

But our service doesn’t stop at placement. We continue to be your point of contact for everything from visas, travel arrangements, and pocket money to school uniforms and other practical matters. We're here to support you and your child throughout their entire stay.

Boarding School - a model for success Why international pupils are so happy at British boarding schools

Oakham School Psychology Class
  • Whether highly academic or needing special support of some kind - a good boarding school supports each child according to his or her individual requirements.
  • Teachers have a different standing in Britain and are much more motivated and committed.
  • Small classes make it possible to teach the subject matter in a clear and interesting way. Learning is suddenly fun.
  • A huge range of sports, art, music  and other activities are offered outside of the classroom. It's cool to get involved. 
  • Being away from home for some time stimulates the ability see the bigger picture and to think and act independently.
  • Last but not least, English is learnt more or less in passing.

What our students say: „The teachers were amazing. They were so interested in their subject und you could always go to them for advice. They knew everything and the lessons were always really lively."
