Our method
We’ll guide you through each stage of your UK university journey, step by step.
Finding your true path
We start with a hyper-customized deep dive into your goals and aspirations to find the best field of study fit for your future. We’ll help you identify your strengths and map out a clear plan for success.
Academic strengths assessment and goal mapping
Next, we’ll assess your interests and strengths to identify universities where you’re likely to thrive. Our focus is on finding institutions that fit your unique needs, not just rankings.
Choosing the right university and courses
Picking your top UCAS universities can feel overwhelming. We make it easier by giving you honest feedback on your options and helping you choose based on your interests and predicted grades, whether you’re certain or still exploring.
Evaluating college choices
For UK universities with college systems, choosing the right college is key. Our mentors offer insider knowledge to help you make informed decisions for both your academic and personal needs.
Building your candidacy through extracurricular activities
Grades alone aren’t enough for top UK universities. We help you boost your application by building your super-curricular profile with activities like research projects or hands-on experiences that reflect your passions.
Perfecting your personal statement and application
With only 500 words, your personal statement must shine. We guide you in writing a compelling narrative that showcases your unique qualities and unmatched interest for the major you chose.
Securing strong recommendation letters
The recommendation letter complements the application, adding another view of the qualities you want to emphasize. We guide you in determining what to ask for and who to make sure your letter offers just the right amount of praise, feel authoritative and show your character.
Preparing for entrance exams
Exam questions are often abstract and difficult to prepare without inside knowledge. Our mentors walk you through exam examples and train you to think the right way to easily solve the problems.
Mock interviews
For competitive programs like Oxbridge or Imperial, we offer mock interviews with feedback from mentors who’ve been there. We’ll simulate the real thing with mock sessions and coach you so that you walk in confident and ready.
Financial aid and scholarships
We’ll help you find and secure scholarships, bursaries or grants to make your dream education affordable.
Ongoing support
We don’t disappear once your application is in. From offer evaluation to financial aid applications, we ensure you stay on track throughout your university journey.

What students say about our program
Rareș
“
It all started 10 months ago when I decided to apply to university in the United States. A decision usually preceded by a long and thoroughly thought process, yet a rather impulsive one for me.
I knew that I was running out of time and that everybody else had already started the process. Nonetheless, I was determined to give my absolute best to make this happen and, knowing that I could not do it well on my own, I decided to call Upgrade Education. I was afraid the initial meeting would only be an acknowledgement of my unfortunate situation, instead, I was greeted by a mentor with the most enthusiastic and optimistic mindset, already thinking of the next steps to take and supporting me in trusting the process.
The next 6 months were probably the period in my life when I created a life-changing college application and I developed the most as an individual, as a person.
It was the period when, thanks to my mentor and his close and constant support, I got in a position where I could fully embrace myself. I understood where I stand and what I seek to do in my life, ultimately finding the perfect words to describe my complex persona to the Admission Committee, in just a few essays.
Apart from the direct, organized and effective admission coaching process Upgrade Education offered me, the team made sure that I documented my university choices and that I was aware of all the aspects regarding my next 4 years as a student: from a social and academic perspective to the courses offered and the future career options. Moreover, my mentor emotionally prepared me for all the potential drawbacks that I might encounter and supported me throughout the whole application process and the post-admission period.
From the slightest details in my Common App to the successful interview, I owe Upgrade Education a considerable share of my admission, as they taught me how to take all the “sand granules” that represent my life in the past years and turn these into a shiny “diamond” that showcases the best version of myself, a version that thanks to them, I learned to fully embrace and be proud of.
