Programmes I can stand behind.
Providers book a placement here. I only take on programmes I know and would suggest in a first consultation myself. The placement is paid, the assessment is mine.
Paid placement. Editorial content on this site is never for sale: the partner network and the programme overview are unpaid, and in a first consultation I say what actually fits you.

How It Works
4 steps to the right degree
From the initial consultation to enrollment. I check admission, secure credit transfers, and handle the paperwork.
- Step 1
Initial Consultation
In 30 minutes, I assess your admission chances, credit transfer potential, and the most realistic path forward.
- Step 2
University & Program Search
I filter programs from 20+ partner universities that truly match your profile, budget, and timeline.
- Step 3
Credit Transfer & Enrollment
Get prior learning recognized (saves up to 50% of study time), submit documents, complete enrollment.
- Step 4
Study Start & Support
You study, I remain your contact. If issues arise with the university, I have direct connections.
It also sets out what I deliberately do not do, and the most common questions are answered in the FAQ.
Let me introduce myself
Lars Ritter
Study consulting from someone who has been through it
I am a study consultant and university lecturer, and I support working professionals who want to study: honestly, explained from the inside and without the paperwork stress. Today I am doing my own doctorate and hold four degrees myself. Back then I would have wanted exactly these explanations, which is why this consultancy exists.

Success Stories
