Where It All Started

Our Story Begins

Founded by former university teachers and staff, our passion-driven story began when we realised while many agencies offer assistance, a significant gap in holistic support remained unaddressed.

Spotting the Missing Pieces

With years of experience in the industry, Matthew and Thijs were quickly able to spot the missing pieces. Most agencies typically did not offer active assistance in improving English and preparing for academic & personal life in the UK. They often lacked direct ties to the UK and therefore did not possess the necessary knowledge to efficiently assist their students.

More Than Just An Agency

This led to the creation of UK Bound, an educational consultancy committed to offering a complete service for students eager to study in the UK. An agency that keeps going where other agencies stop, armed with knowledge and experience where others fall short.

Going The Extra Mile

While many agencies only offer support up until admissions, at UK Bound, we don't stop there. We go the extra mile to provide ongoing support and guidance, ensuring your success and well-being even after you've arrived in the UK.

Never Stop Growing

UK Bound is committed to creating a better future for our students. We are dedicated to constantly improving our services, aiming to provide nothing but the best. This is why we're pushing ourselves to grow every day.

Celebrating Your Success

Proudly sharing our student's stories

"The UK Bound team, with their real-life experience in the UK,  knew everything about getting into universities, which gave me a big advantage. The teachers had been teaching for more than 10 years, so I received really good education and support."

Diya Student at University of Hull

"My individual goals were greatly supported by UK Bound. They helped me with my working conditions as a student that helped pay back my tuition for the same. I studied MSc Business Analytics which led to a great job supported by the Skilled Worker Visa."

Vihaan Student at University of Bolton

"Since our first meeting, UK Bound treated me like an individual, not just a customer. They spent time getting to know me, what I'm good at, and what I want to achieve. The way they made a plan just for me was beyond anything I had experienced before."

Lin Yupeng Student at University of Plymouth

"Being part of UK Bound's Immersion Programme was a great choice. The native speakers, who know all about universities in the UK, gave me very helpful support with my studies and English. The practice tests and SELT preparation were especially useful."

Wang Yiting Student at Ravensbourne University London

"I'm grateful for all the support UK Bound provided to Xinyi and me over the years. They guided her well and patiently answered all my concerned questions as a mom, making both Xinyi and me feel at ease. Now, with her goal to work in the UK post-graduation, we're working closely with UK Bound experts to figure out the best way to make that happen."
