Build a STEM shortlistBusiness & MBA
The UK, France, and Singapore dominate one-year MBA formats; Canada's Rotman and Schulich offer the strongest post-MBA PR conversion.

05 · Our process
How we narrow a continent down to one decision
A four-step filter that turns "I want to go abroad" into a single, well-evidenced country pick — usually in 3 to 5 working sessions.
01
Profile audit
We map academics, budget ceiling, language band, and timeline against the immigration rules of 18 destinations — the ones that fail fall off the list fast.
02
Shortlist of 3
You leave the first session with three countries and a side-by-side of post-study rights, PR timelines, and realistic annual costs.
03
Program matching
We pair each shortlisted country with 5–8 programs that match your GPA band, with verified intakes, fees, and language requirements.
04
Application sprint
From SOP to visa file — we run the application calendar with you, so the offer letter, I-20 / CAS / Zulassung, and appointment are sequenced, not scrambled.
