Kastu International
Kastu International is a non-profit organization. Since 2006 we have been helping young people understand their options, find the right study program abroad and get into university smoothly.
We work with universities in Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, Finland and Sweden. In the Kastu study search you will find more than 850 programs taught in English, and the online application form lets you choose programs, submit documents and follow the key application steps in one place.
What and where to study is always your decision, and the final admission decision is made by the university. We help you all the way: we check your form and documents, remind you of important deadlines, submit your applications and give you the information you need to get ready to leave.

There are real people behind Kastu
Kastu started because, back then, there was no one to turn to for help when applying abroad. Today that is exactly what our team does: we review your form and documents, check the important steps and submit your applications. KastuGPT answers your questions 24/7, so you don't have to face a complicated application process alone.
You can meet the team on the Contacts page.
