Mentors who lived it
Every person guiding you has personally applied, won a visa, and now studies in Europe. You're not getting a script — you're getting lived experience.
Study in Europe · From Bangladesh
From a dorm in Dhaka to a lecture hall in Europe.
We're a student-led mentorship team who already made this exact journey. We guide you from first application to boarding gate — transparently, and on your terms. You keep control of every payment and login.

Hidden fees
you pay everything yourself
Why we're different
Most agencies hold the keys. We hand them to you.
We started NextUp because the traditional agency model felt wrong — fees you can't see, accounts you can't access. So we built the opposite.
Traditional agency
NextUp Mentor
Who pays the university & visa fees
The agency pays on your behalf — opaque markups
You pay every fee directly. No middle-man markup.
Your application logins
Held by the agency. You're locked out.
Yours. You keep every email and portal login.
Who's advising you
Sales staff working on commission
Students who made this exact journey themselves
After you land
Relationship ends at departure
Pre-arrival help, housing, and a community waiting
The operating model
Built on three promises
Everything we do comes back to these. They're the reason NextUp exists.
Total transparency
No hidden charges, ever. You make every payment yourself and keep access to every account. We guide the process; you stay in control of it.
We don't stop at the airport
Housing, bank accounts, residence permits, finding your feet in a new city — our support continues long after you land, with a student community waiting.
Your reach
One application away from an entire continent.
Our students live and study across Europe — from Rome to Vilnius. Spin the globe: every glowing point is a city where someone who started exactly where you are now calls home.
- Dhaka
- Rome
- Milan
- Bologna
- Berlin
- Munich
- Vilnius
- Warsaw
- Budapest
Where you could be
Six countries. One continent of options.
Each destination has its own rhythm — costs, intakes, work rights, and culture. We help you find the one that actually fits your life.
In their words
Students who made it across
Real journeys, in their own words. (Stories shown are representative while we gather consent for full names and photos.)
“I almost signed with an agency that wanted to hold my logins. NextUp let me keep everything and walked me through each form. I'm in Rome now.”
Tasnia R.
MSc Computer Science · Sapienza · Italy
“They'd actually been through the Lithuania visa themselves, so the advice was real, not guesswork. Approved on the first try.”
Ridwan H.
BSc Business · Vilnius · Lithuania
“What surprised me was the help after I landed — finding a flat, opening a bank account. It didn't feel like a transaction.”
Mehjabin A.
MA Economics · Bologna · Italy

Our story
We were you, two years ago.
NextUp wasn't founded as an agency. It was founded by students already living and studying across Europe — people who survived the visa stress, the documentation, the money worries, and the culture shock.
Because we lived it, we know exactly what guidance a student needs — and what's just noise. We guide, we support, and we walk beside you. Students first, mentors by experience.
