Recommended University Strategy

After our discussion, we've built this recommended strategy around what you told us. You're set on business, and networking is your big focus. The schools we've shortlisted, SLU Madrid, EU Business School, ESSEC, ESCP, EDHEC, LUISS Guido Carli, Toulouse Business School and NEOMA, are our recommendations: they match what you're looking for, they have strong networks and corporate links, they're well regarded, and they're 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 practical, entrepreneurial or career-focused business curricula
  • A mix of Spanish, French, Italian and broader European campus exposure
  • Clear entry pathways for US-style high school graduates
  • Strong networks, corporate connections and alumni communities for networking
  • Cultures and networks that fit your entrepreneurial, international profile
