OUR STORY

Built on the proud legacy of Alpha Academic Consultants, founded in 2000 and renamed in 2005, UniQual carries forward over 25 years of presence in higher education consulting and student recruitment. Our work is grounded in integrity, innovation, and partnership, helping institutions expand globally while guiding students toward transformative academic opportunities.

UniQual Global Education Partnerships is the evolution of Alpha Academic Consultants, originally founded in 2005. Following years of sustainable growth and success, Alpha was acquired and restructured, giving rise to UniQual Global Education under new international management.

Headquartered in Cyprus, with regional representatives across the Middle East, North Africa (MENA), and Southeast Asia, UniQual specializes in exclusive university partnerships to support international student recruitment and academic development.

We deliver comprehensive service packages to universities and our partners, including student recruitment, visa processing, and accommodation solutions — while offering students personalized pathways to higher education. With a diverse global portfolio, UniQual provides end-to-end support to both institutions and students, fostering strong, sustainable partnerships in international education.

Our Roots – Alpha Academic Consultants

Founded more than 25 years ago, Alpha Academic Consultants has long been recognized as a global leader in academic consulting and university placement services. The organization has also delivered excellence in foundation programs, pre-medical studies, and language education, serving students from across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa

With staff members who bring over 30 years of experience in education, Alpha developed deep expertise in helping students achieve their academic and personal goals. Its consultants have built trusted relationships with many well-known universities, providing exclusive representation services and valuable benefits for students. 

Alpha’s approach has always centered on personalized guidance. By understanding each student’s ambitions, strengths, and needs, consultants offer tailored advice on course selection, university choice, and destination country, balancing factors such as academic quality, cost, location, and quality of life.
Our consultants regularly visit partner universities worldwide to gain first-hand insights, ensuring the advice we offer is always relevant and informed. Alpha’s commitment to Good Practice Principles and ethical consulting remains a cornerstone of our philosophy, ensuring professionalism, integrity, and transparency in every interaction.

Alpha Consultants reached a portfolio of representations of 45 Higher Education Institutions across Europe and the US. In 2020 Alpha Consultants initiated TNE programs between UK Universities and Cypriot HEI successfully.
