Our mission and core values
Why are we here?
At Studyportals, we have always been an idealistic bunch of people. From the very start until today, our team continues to unify under a shared belief that strengthening international education for the entire world can not only be easier, but it can also be more inspiring.
We remain consistently optimistic about the value of international education – a sense of confidence that all of our superheroes carry with them in everything we do. It’s the best way to keep our eyes set on long-term goals, and ensures that we continue to create the world’s largest education search platform.
If we could put our belief under one big banner, it would state the overall mission as:
‘Empowering the world to choose education’
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 strong leadership, creative thinking, and a better society.
- We want the world to choose education: want education choice to be transparent, enabling students and people worldwide to choose for themselves the education that fits their needs best.
From the design of our office to the layout of our platforms, to the decorations at our desks, Studyportals is a company built upon the mission of global education transparency, choice, and access across borders. We grow as our users and clients grow, making education the thing that energises our whole company personality. We share insights, innovate our products, develop ourselves, and – most importantly – contribute to an educated global society that is more tolerant and open.
