A small company that tells you what is realistic.

Bitopi Services Limited is a UK company with counsellors who have been through the process themselves. We help students, mostly from Bangladesh, choose a course and a country they can afford, apply well, and arrive ready. We do not promise offers or visas, because those decisions are not ours.

Three things we do that most agents do not

We say no to a bad fit

If your grades, budget or timing do not match a course, we tell you in the first call and show you what does. A refusal costs you a year; we would rather lose the booking.

Every number has a date and a source

Tuition, living costs, visa fees and work rules on this site carry the date we checked them and a link to who sets them. When a rule changes, the date changes with it.

A person answers, always

A human counsellor is one tap away on every page, and makes every decision that matters. When our AI counsellor is switched on, it will answer first questions and say when it is unsure.
