[Study] Indian Students' Experiences with European University Applications - Role of Educational Consultancies [Academic] (Indian citizens/NRIs who have applied to EU universities)

Hi everyone!

I'm conducting research for my Master's thesis (MSc Public Policy & Human Development at UNU-MERIT & Maastricht University) on the experiences of Indian students applying to universities in the European Union, with a focus on the role and impact of educational consultancies.

Who can participate:

• Indian citizens or NRIs who have applied to EU universities (prospective students, current students, or recent graduates)
• Both those who used educational consultancies AND those who applied independently

What's involved:

• A brief online screening survey (3-5 minutes) to check eligibility
• If selected based on sample diversity needs, a confidential 30-minute online interview about your application journey
• Participants who complete the interview will receive a small thank-you incentive of ₹500-₹1000 (€5-€10)

Your insights can help improve transparency and support for future students!

Thank you for considering! Feel free to share with others who might qualify.
