University Direction
Recommended University Strategy
After our discussion, we've built this recommended strategy around what you told us. You're set on business schools, and the schools on your radar (IE, ESCP, CUNEF, Universidad Europea, EDHEC and ESSEC) are the ones we believe would be a good fit for you and worth planning your applications around.
We'll work with you across the whole academic year, tackling one element of your application at a time, from CV and personal statement through to school-specific essays, entrance exams, interviews and final submissions.
We looked for universities with:
- English-taught business programmes with international student bodies
- Strong corporate networks and career placement across Europe
- A balanced academic pace with room for networking and experiences
- Clear entry requirements and no extra standardised tests
- Campuses and cultures that fit your preferences
