Home / About us / What we do

Eight services, one counsellor, and every cost on the table first.

From choosing a country to the week you fly, and then after you land. Each service below says plainly what it covers and where it stops. Nothing is submitted under your name that you have not approved, and the full cost of the route we recommend is given to you in writing before you commit to any of it.

The eight services

What each one covers, honestly.

1

Country & University Selection

Start here if you don't yet know where you fit.

We match you to the right country, university and course on your grades, budget, English level and career goals, not guesswork and not whichever university pays the highest commission. You see where you qualify today, where you are one fix away, and what that fix is.

  • A shortlist built from your actual profile, with the reason each university is on it
  • Honest near-misses: the exact score or amount standing between you and a better option
  • Deposit-aware planning, matched to what your family can genuinely pay upfront
  • All eight destinations compared, so you can see the options before we narrow them
2

Career Counselling

Before you pick a degree, pick a direction.

A degree abroad is a career decision before it is a travel decision. We talk through jobs, earnings and post-study options in each country for your field, and we will tell you plainly when a cheaper or closer route serves your goal better.

  • Field-by-field advice on where graduates actually find work
  • Post-study work and dependant rules factored into the country choice
  • A realistic picture of PR pathways, never a promise of one
3

Admission Application

We prepare it, submit it, and manage every offer.

Your statement of purpose, references and forms are prepared with you, submitted by us, and chased until every decision is back. When offers arrive, we compare them against your budget and goals rather than pushing the first yes.

  • Statement of purpose and reference preparation
  • Submissions and follow-up handled for every university on your list
  • Offer comparison and acceptance strategy when results come back
4

Scholarship Application

Lower the cost before you commit to it.

We identify the scholarships you actually qualify for, from university merit awards to national programmes, and build a competitive case on a timeline planned alongside your applications, because many close months before the course does. On top of any award your university gives, the Northbound Scholarship adds up to £1,000 from us, plus a full preparation and test-fee refund on successful enrolment.

  • A scholarship list filtered to what your profile can win
  • Deadlines mapped so no award closes before you apply
  • The Northbound Scholarship, offered by no other consultant in Pakistan
5

Interview Preparation

Answer with confidence, not a memorised script.

University admission interviews and visa credibility interviews are where prepared students are separated from coached ones. We run mock interviews built on the questions embassies and universities actually ask, covering your course, your finances, your plans, and give you direct feedback until the answers are yours.

  • Mock UKVI credibility interviews with real question banks
  • Finance and sponsor questions rehearsed against your actual file
  • Feedback on content, not just delivery
6

English Language Preparation

Your score should never be what stops you.

IELTS and PTE coaching taught by question type, with regular full mock tests and detailed writing and speaking feedback. We first confirm the exact band your course and visa require, then build the plan backwards from it, so you prepare for a target, not in general.

  • Band-focused coaching for IELTS and PTE
  • Full mock tests with scored writing and speaking feedback
  • Advice on MOI, Duolingo, Oxford ELLT and LanguageCert where they are genuinely accepted
7

Visa Application

Prepared correctly the first time.

Most refusals come from weak or wrongly-timed funds, inconsistent documents, or a poor credibility interview, all of which are avoidable. We build your complete visa file: financial evidence held for the right period, documents that agree with each other, and forms done properly, so you submit once.

  • Financial evidence planned to the maintenance-period rules of your destination
  • Document consistency checked before anything is submitted
  • Refusal cases assessed honestly, and re-applications built on the real cause
8

Pre & Post Departure

You land with somewhere to live and someone expecting you.

The visa is not the finish line. We arrange accommodation and flight tickets, organise airport pick-up, and stay with you through your first weeks, enrolment, registration, a local SIM, opening a bank account, so arriving feels planned rather than improvised.

  • Accommodation and flights arranged before you fly
  • Airport pick-up organised at your destination
  • First-weeks guidance until you are settled and enrolled

Exclusive to Northbound

The Northbound Scholarship.

A scholarship offered by no other consultant in Pakistan, awarded personally by Northbound, on top of any scholarship your university already offers: up to £1,000.

A full preparation and test-fee refund is also provided to any student who successfully enrols at their chosen university abroad through Northbound.

Behind service one

How your counsellor builds the shortlist.

Selection here is systematic, not a hunch. Your counsellor runs your profile against our full partner directory and reads the results with you, including the near-misses most consultants never show.

  • Reads your percentage, CGPA out of 4 or CGPA out of 10 automatically
  • Matches your English route: IELTS, PTE, MOI, Duolingo, Oxford ELLT or LanguageCert, against what each university accepts
  • Checks tuition against your budget and the deposit against what you can pay upfront
  • Flags study-gap limits before they become a refusal
