We hosted a range of webinars this year focusing on British school qualifications, subject guidance, visa application, and university applications, to name a few.
These events were designed for families whose children are already attending a British school, planning a stay, or simply interested in learning more about the school qualifications "A-Levels" and "IB-Diploma". We recorded all of the webinars and you can find links to the recordings on the events page.

This weekend, under sunny skies and with around one hundred guests in attendance, we hosted our very first Career Day – and were thrilled by the inspiring conversations with so many engaged families.
What comes after school?
To help answer this question, our key partners in academic counselling, personal development and Gap Year planning joined us in Munich. Through individual conversations and hands-on advice, they offered valuable guidance and shared practical next steps. In three themed panels, they outlined ways young people can navigate their path with clarity, confidence and a sense of purpose.
Panel 1 – Study & Career Choices in the Age of AI
Struss & Claussen and mjndset explored how AI is reshaping the skillsets required for university and work. Future-oriented competencies such as creative problem-solving, resilience and emotional intelligence are becoming increasingly essential. Citing current programme offerings– for example at TU Munich – they showed how universities are already responding and integrating new formats to support skill development.
Panel 2 – A Gap Year as a Catalyst for Personal Growth
St. Clare’s Oxford demonstrated how young people can gain direction and confidence through academic Gap Year programmes combined with expert career guidance.
Explorientation highlighted how a clearly defined personal goal can form the foundation for a fully tailored Gap Year – as an individual learning journey with academic, hands-on and personal elements.
wayers showcased how international experiences – from wildlife conservation in Asia to work and travel in Australia – can strengthen adaptability and broaden perspectives in lasting ways.
Panel 3 – Studying Abroad: A Compact Overview
The University Guys spoke about the importance of finding a university that fits not only your academic interests but also your personality and vision for life – and how an authentic application can truly make a difference.
StudiMed encouraged students to think beyond borders: studying medicine in Europe is possible even without top grades – with the right preparation for entrance exams and reliable on-site support.

As an education-focused company, we see every day how access to excellent learning opportunities can shape lives. But not all young people are given the same chances. That’s why, again this year, we are supporting four nonprofit organisations whose work we know, value and trust – each of them committed to improving education and strengthening social inclusion in their own way.
New this year: Studopolis – an initiative that brings young people into political dialogue during the 2025 election year. Travelling across Germany by bus, hosting local events and listening to the voices of youth – to us, this is a powerful statement in support of democratic education.
We continue to support:
Our commitment reflects a simple belief: education has the greatest impact when it reaches as many people as possible.
