About

*** I ensure students get places at the best universities around the world.*** I am passionate about education and the opportunities I believe it creates for people and the wider society. Education opens doors and facilitates change. As the Founder of Uni Direct, my passion is in inspiring the students I work with and it is why I established the business. I enjoy leading my team to work with students from a diverse range of backgrounds and supporting them in developing their professional pathway, through enabling their continued education. Each student we work with is different and the advice and support the team and I provide them with is bespoke to their needs. My own professional career has been diverse, as has my educational background. I have been privileged to study up to PhD level and have experience working across a range of scientific and social science disciplines. I have lectured in higher education on a range of subject areas, worked in student support and have participated in a range of forums for the UK government and in the private sector. My multidisciplinary background and experience and knowledge of the higher education sector from working at several universities in the UK has helped me greatly in developing Uni Direct as a company.

Uni Direct is an educational consultancy providing professional services to support in applying to universities. We work in partnership with universities and provide our services directly to schools and colleges around the world***
We work with UK residents, EU and international students to help them identify and apply for English speaking degree courses around the world. We can help students apply to study in the UK, elsewhere in Europe, the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. We help students apply for foundation degrees through to PhD and MBA programmes. In addition to our core university application support services, we also provide academic mentoring services to existing university students.
Many of our students come from trusted partnerships with many different organisations around the world and we are always looking to develop new links. Similarly, we want to connect with universities that offer English speaking degree courses that our students would be interested in. We help universities recruit students through our own enquiries, in addition to running digital marketing campaigns for them to recruit students. We also work with universities to help them develop partnerships, review their courses, train their staff and to improve student retention.
