Most agencies are paid to send you somewhere. We are different. One named counsellor guides you from your first question to your first job abroad, and we show you exactly how we are paid on every option we suggest.
Free to you. We are paid by universities, and we tell you how much, every time.
When advice is paid for by whoever you enrol with, whose interest does it really serve?
Agents are involved in around 50% of UK international recruitment. Most are paid a commission of 10% to 30% of your first-year tuition by the university you choose. That is a real conflict, and students have grown wise to it. Meridian removes the conflict. Your counsellor is never paid on where you enrol, so the advice is the advice, not the sale.
We publish how we are paid and show you the commission on every option, including the ones that pay us less. Your counsellor's pay is walled off from your choice, so nobody has a reason to steer you.
Transparency by defaultCourse and career matching, real-time tracking of your application, and paperless document upload. The technology handles the admin. Your counsellor handles you.
Built for clarityWe do not vanish once you enrol. Accommodation, airport pickup, arrival week, banking, wellbeing and career support carry on through your degree. This is where most agencies stop. It is where we start.
Application to first jobA free consultation to understand your goals, budget and where you will thrive.
A shortlist of courses and universities, each with the commission we earn shown clearly.
Applications and documents handled paperlessly, tracked in real time.
Guidance through the student visa, with honest advice on your chances.
Accommodation, airport pickup and an arrival week so you are not alone on day one.
Wellbeing check-ins and career support through your degree and into work.
You are making one of the biggest decisions of your life. You deserve advice you can trust and a person who stays with you.
We work with a small, aligned set of universities. Fewer, better-matched students who stay and succeed, with clean, standards-aligned compliance.
Our commission on every course we suggest is shown to you in writing. No hidden numbers. No surprises.
Your counsellor is not paid on which university you pick. The person guiding you has no reason to steer you.
If studying abroad, or a particular course, is wrong for you, we will tell you. An honest no protects your money and your future.
Tell us where you are and where you want to be. A named counsellor will come back to you within two working days. There is no cost and no obligation.
