Why Kastu?

• Kastu has signed partnership agreements with all the international universities we represent. Thanks to over 19 years of close cooperation, students applying through Kastu often receive priority in the admissions process. That means applying through Kastu is faster, simpler, and more secure.
• You don’t need to stress about the process – we manage everything from A to Z. You won’t miss any important deadlines or forget essential documents. We’ll keep you informed at every step.
• 96% of students who apply through Kastu get accepted and recommend us to their friends!

*If you're applying to a university with more competitive entry requirements, it's a good idea to speak with the Kastu team first. We’ll help evaluate your chances and, if needed, suggest a backup option – just to make sure you don’t miss out on studying abroad.

Kastu represents and offers study opportunities only at public universities that:

• – offer tuition-free or government-funded programs, or have affordable tuition fees;
• – are fully accredited and provide high-quality education;
• – issue degrees that are recognized worldwide.

We do not work with private universities, as the balance between tuition fees and academic quality is often not justified. After visiting and reviewing hundreds of institutions, we strongly believe that public universities offer better educational value at much more accessible prices. For example, there’s no real reason to pay €8,000–12,000 per year at a private university in the Netherlands, when you can study at a top public university for around €2,600 per year.

• – free consultations
  – full application process management – from start to finish
  – a wide range of additional support services

Kastu International is co-funded by european union institutions, which allows us to offer all of our services entirely FREE of charge for students applying through our platform.
