OUR DIFFERENCE, IN REAL TERMSNot just a promise.
Not just a promise.
Our way of working.
We don't ask students to trust catchy slogans. We explain what is included, when costs arise, and what happens even if the answer is “not yet.”
Explore our approach ↗01
We don't charge to open your file.
Start with a free assessment, profile discussion and clear next steps—no paid consultation barrier.
02
Your offer triggers our application fee.
Our AED 999 service charge is due only after a written offer meets the criteria agreed before your applications.
03
We separate our fees from other costs.
Tuition, university charges, government fees and optional support are explained separately, not tucked into one opaque figure.
04
We'll say “not yet” when it's the right advice.
Eligibility, language scores, budget and deadlines should shape the plan—not pressure to apply immediately.
Questions worth asking any consultancy
Who chooses the university? What triggers a fee? Which payments go to third parties? Will you receive copies of your application? What happens if you're refused? We believe the answers should be easy to find.

GUIDANCE WITH HUMANITY
Ambition shouldn't come with an upfront consultancy bill.
We want students to make informed decisions, even when the right decision is to improve their profile, save more money or apply to a different program. That's how long-term trust begins.
ASSESSMENTFREEFILE OPENING
GOOD QUESTIONS. CLEAR ANSWERS.
Before you begin.
We'd rather answer your questions early than surprise you later.
Is the academic assessment and file opening really free?
Yes. GSB does not charge a consultancy fee to assess your initial profile or open your student file. Third-party fees, if any, are disclosed separately before you approve them.
When exactly do I pay the AED 999 university application fee?
Only after you receive a qualifying written university offer under a signed agreement that defines the approved course, institution, intake, and conditions. An interview invitation or waitlist notice does not count.
Do you guarantee university admission or visa approval?
No. Admissions are decided by institutions and visas by the relevant authorities. We help you assess options and prepare accurately; we do not promise decisions outside our control.
What if my visa is refused?
For eligible refusals under the separate GSB visa-support package, 60% of the AED 2,999 GSB visa-support service fee is refundable. Government and third-party payments are separate. Final written conditions apply.
Can I contact you before choosing a country?
Absolutely. You can select “Not sure yet” on the form and tell us about your goals. Country suitability depends on education, finances, language and personal priorities.
