Colophon · About the studio

An editorial approach to studying abroad.

We are an independent guidance studio for students considering Iranian universities. We do not sell agencies, referral fees, or hurried decisions — we sell time, research, and a plainly-written record of what a program actually offers.

§ IWorking principles

Three commitments that shape every recommendation we make.

  1. 01

    Independence over commission.

    We accept no per-enrollment fees from universities. Our recommendations reflect fit, not payout — and we publish where a program falls short as readily as where it excels.

  2. 02

    Documentation over persuasion.

    Every program page is checked against primary sources: faculty rosters, ministry accreditation, published tuition schedules. Marketing brochures do not decide what we write.

  3. 03

    One student at a time.

    We limit the number of applicants we advise each intake so that our correspondence is always with the person deciding, never with a caseload.

§ II

How the work actually looks.

Every advisory relationship follows the same four stages — designed to be short on ceremony and long on evidence.

  1. 01

    Intake conversation

    A single call to map your academic history, target discipline, funding constraints, and personal circumstances.

  2. 02

    Written shortlist

    A document — three to seven programs — with plain-language rationale for each choice, plus what we recommend against and why.

  3. 03

    Application dossier

    Structured drafts of every required document, reviewed against the specific submission portal for each institution.

  4. 04

    Arrival & first term

    Support through visa scheduling, housing, banking, and the first term of enrollment — the period where most students actually need us.
