We were the ones lost in this process. So we built the guide we wished we'd had.
NextUp Mentor is a student-led study-abroad consultancy in Bangladesh, focused on European destinations — built on honesty, transparency, and real experience.
Founded by students, not salespeople.
NextUp Mentor was founded by current and former students already living and studying across Europe. We started this not as a traditional agency, but as people who personally experienced the challenges, confusion, and struggles of moving abroad.
We have gone through the same visa processes, documentation pressure, financial concerns, cultural adjustments, and academic transitions that upcoming students are about to face. Because we lived it ourselves, we understand exactly what guidance a student truly needs — and what they don't.
Instead of the typical agency formula, we believe in complete transparency and student control. No hidden charges, no unclear procedures, no restricted access. Students keep full access to their applications and make payments directly themselves. Our role is to guide, support, and make sure every step is taken correctly and confidently.
“To guide students toward the life we are already living — with honesty, clarity, and real experience behind every piece of advice.”

Four principles we won't bend
They're the reason students — and their families — trust us with one of the biggest decisions of their lives.
Lived experience over scripts
Everyone who guides you has personally applied, won a visa, and now studies in Europe. Advice comes from memory, not a manual.
Radical transparency
No hidden charges. You see every cost, make every payment yourself, and keep access to every account and email.
You stay in control
We guide the process; you own it. Your applications and logins are always yours — never locked behind an agency.
We don't disappear at departure
Housing, banking, residence permits, community — our support continues long after the plane lands.
You, connected to Europe's best
We sit between you and the universities — handling applications, documents and visas so the path from home to campus stays clear.
