A university research tool by Coopers International

Start with the country.
Then find the right university.

A nine-question starter to surface which countries are worth exploring, then an academic profile intake that powers match indicators across different systems. Built for international families and the counselors who work with them.

Before the shortlist, the system. This nine-question starter is designed to surface which country systems are genuinely worth exploring for a particular student.

Answer honestly about the student you (or your child) actually are, not the one you imagine applying. The results are a starting point for research, not a final answer. The real admissions outcomes, especially in the U.S., also rely on subjective factors that this tool does not capture.

Now, the academic profile. Before looking at country recommendations and specific universities, the tool needs a sense of where the student sits academically. This powers the match indicators across every university.

Enter what you know. Predicted grades are fine; actual grades are better. If the student has not taken tests, leave those blank.

Your country recommendations

Based on your answers, here is how each country system maps to the student you described. Click through to research specific universities.

Data compiled from institutional Common Data Sets, IPEDS, UCAS, and institutional websites (Class of 2028 and 2029 cycles). Policies and statistics change frequently. Match indicators are directional, not predictive. Always verify current admissions requirements, testing policies, and financial aid details directly with each university before applying.
