About Stuudy

The beauty of this mission is its double-meaning:

We want the world to choose education: we want everyone to embrace education, by any means, as the path to a better life, and a more prosperous, more connected and more sustainable society.

We want the world to choose education: we want education choice to be transparent, enabling students and people worldwide to choose for themselves the education that fits their needs best.

Our story

Studyportals started as a group of international student associations coming together to solve a student problem. At the time, students had no reliable, comprehensive source to compare their study choice options across borders, even though it is one of the most expensive and often one of the most impactful decisions in one’s lifetime. Studyportals was created to fill this gap. 

Studyportals co-founder and CEO Edwin van Rest returned to the Netherlands after a transformative experience studying in Japan, and realised the need for a global platform to make education transparent.
