Our advisory is complete end-to-end and accompanies the student through all stages of the international application process. This includes guidance in choosing universities, document review, assistance with completing applications, visa guidance, enrollment, and payments, as well as support up to pre-departure preparation for the study destination.

Yes. The first step is our in-depth student profile analysis, to map the university options that best align with your academic, social, financial, and professional goals. With acceptance letters in hand, we provide all the necessary information so the student feels confident in choosing the university where they will study.

Absolutely. Historically, 85% of our students receive some type of scholarship, mostly partial. We look for the best opportunities and provide guidance on scholarship applications.

Not necessarily. International universities require a minimum level of proficiency in the language the classes will be taught in, and this level is proven through official tests like IELTS or TOEFL. It is possible to start the consultancy while the student improves their language skills, and if necessary, we can recommend partner teachers for tutoring before the exams.

If, even after the test, the language level is still far below what is required, there are also preparatory programs abroad, known as Pre-sessional English courses.

We guide students so they know exactly which documents need to be translated and what formats are required by universities. Currently, we have a partnership with Translaty, which offers benefits to our students.

Our work doesn't end with acceptance. After acceptance, we provide guidance on enrollment, deposit payments, student visa procedures, and choosing accommodation. We also hold a pre-departure meeting with final guidelines before the trip and send a physical travel kit to the students.

Many universities require a portfolio as part of the application process, especially for courses like Arts, Architecture, and Design. During the advisory, we review the portfolio in the same way we analyze the other application documents. For students who need to build a portfolio from scratch, we also recommend partner specialists who offer support in creating stronger materials aligned with university requirements.

For students going to the UK, Gradeup offers direct support with the student visa process. For other destinations, we rely on the support of TravelMate's visa department, offering guidance throughout all stages of this process.

Absolutely. Our consultancy is conducted remotely and structured to serve students from anywhere in Brazil. Meetings, document reviews, and guidance take place digitally, ensuring convenience, organization, and agile communication throughout the entire process.
