Transcending borders starts here
Acumen provides dedicated, compliant, on-the-ground representation for education organisations.
In addition to schools and vocational providers, we currently work with twelve of the Russell Group universities in the UK, seven of the Group of 8 universities in Australia and 5 of the Top 10 Universities in Canada to support their international success.



Acumen supports a vast array of international education organisations with their international presence worldwide, including universities, vocational providers, schools, EdTech providers, accommodation providers and education agents. At the heart of our service is the belief that students around the world benefit from an international learning experience and that international education organisations in turn benefit from diversity of thought, culture and experience which international students bring.
The Benefits of Internationalisation
Social Mobility
Students benefit from higher employability due to exposure to a multicultural environment, higher awareness of global trade, finance and industry operations. It is also observed that students with international experience are also often more self-reliant and confident.
