Application journey: 5 simple steps to your dream university
Forget complicated paperwork. The Kastu platform is designed to make applying simple and stress-free. Use the platform tools at every step – from choosing a program to submitting your application.
Not sure what to study? No problem! Find your path using these tools:
- Study program search: Choose from 850+ programs in 5 countries.

The platform will show you exactly what your chosen university requires. Usually, you only need:
- Copy of ID document
- Transcript of grades (or Secondary School Leaving Certificate, if you have already completed secondary school). More information
- Motivation letter (only where necessary – list here). Submit it through the platform – our team will review it and suggest improvements to increase your chances!
You will see the full list of required documents in the "Documents" section of the application form. When you add study programs – the system will automatically show what documents you need for your chosen programs. Required documents may vary depending on which universities you apply to.
One online form – for all universities! What do you need to do?
- Enter your details.
- Select study programs.
- Upload documents.
Before submission, your form is reviewed for errors – so you can apply with confidence.
After submitting, track your application status directly via the platform. You will receive SMS and email reminders about every important update and deadline. Respond to university requests through the platform – everything is in one place.
After receiving the official Acceptance Letter – the best part begins. Kastu supports you here too:
- Your personal "Student Buddy" – a student already studying at the same university will help you prepare and adapt.
- Pre-departure information from university representatives – answers to all questions before departure.
- Closed WhatsApp groups – meet other students applying together with you.
- Survival Guide – clear tips and advice on finding accommodation and work in the new country.
- Financial support info – instructions on how to get government benefits and financial support during your studies.
All studies are conducted in English. English proficiency requirements depend on the university – some accept a Secondary School Leaving Certificate as proof, while others require a test such as TOEFL, IELTS or Duolingo.
Check what your chosen university accepts: Required English tests.
Important: Don't have a test result yet? You can apply now and provide it later!
Deadlines vary depending on the country and university. You will find all dates next to your chosen program on the platform. We recommend not leaving it to the last minute!

I chose HZ University of Applied Sciences because I wanted practical Chemistry studies and international experience. In Vlissingen, I found supportive lecturers, laboratory work, career guidance, an active student community, and opportunities that helped me grow both academically and personally....

The beginning was not easy, but studying abroad gave me independence, new experiences, and the chance to discover a different way of learning. My advice to future students: start planning early and do not wait until the last moment — good preparation makes the whole journey much easier....
O studiach za granicą marzyłam odkąd pamiętam. Czułam, że takie studia dadzą mi dużo więcej możliwości, niż studia w Polsce.

Applying through Kastu vs. applying independently
Applying to a foreign university can seem complicated – but only if you try to do everything yourself. See the difference:
 Applying through Kastu
|  Applying independently
|
|---|
1 form → 5 countries. Fill it out once in ~20 min – and apply to all chosen universities in one go. | You must fill out "Studielink", "Optagelse", and each university's form separately. Complicated, time-consuming and costly. |
Document review before submission. Your documents are checked for errors before being submitted to universities. | The entire process is your responsibility. If you don't know the details – you might make costly mistakes. |
100% admission guarantee. Follow our recommendations and your admission is guaranteed. | No guarantees. A mistake in your documents or motivation letter can mean rejection. |
Everything in one place. Notifications, tasks, deadlines – all on the Kastu platform + SMS reminders. You won't miss anything. | Emails from multiple universities and systems – important messages can get lost or go to spam. |
Finance and accommodation info. Get guidance on benefits, loans, free public transport and finding accommodation – tips, instructions and student contacts. | You must research benefits, loans and accommodation on your own – which can be very difficult. |
Student Buddy and Ambassadors. Connect with a student already at your university and local ambassadors to help you settle in. | After arrival, you must find accommodation and navigate daily life entirely on your own. |
Completely free. 0 EUR. No hidden fees, no admission fees. Zero risk. | Although the process itself is "free", you may pay for document shipping, translations, notary and other services. |

Applying through Kastu, you get document review, deadline reminders and post-admission support – completely free of charge. No hidden fees, no admission fees. 0 EUR. Zero risk.
