Partner universities

The institutions KPGE files applications to, and what being a partner does and does not mean.

KPGE holds representation agreements with more than 650 universities and colleges across seven countries. Here is what that actually means for you, because the phrase gets used loosely in this industry.

What a partnership means

It means we file applications directly through the university’s representative channel rather than the public portal. In practice you get faster decisions, a named contact when something stalls, application fee waivers at many institutions, and access to scholarships that are only offered through representatives.

What it does not mean

It does not mean guaranteed admission. Partner universities assess your application exactly as they would any other. It also does not mean we will only show you partner institutions, if the right course for you is at a university we do not represent, we will tell you and help you apply there anyway.

How commission works, and why it does not change our advice

Universities pay representatives a commission on enrolled students. That is standard across the industry and we are not pretending otherwise. What matters is that our fee to you is flat and agreed in writing before we start, and it does not change based on where you go. A counsellor whose income rises when they steer you somewhere specific is the problem; that is not how this works here.

If you ever want to know whether an institution we have recommended is a partner, ask. We will tell you.

Where our students go

Across the UK, United States, Canada, Australia, Germany, Ireland and New Zealand, from Russell Group and Group of Eight universities to applied colleges and polytechnics with strong graduate employment. Browse by country from study destinations.

Ask for the list

The full list runs to hundreds of institutions and changes every term, so publishing it here would be out of date within weeks. Tell us your course and destination in a counselling session and we will show you the relevant institutions and their current entry requirements.
