Our story

Built by graduates, for graduates.

Elite Study Group began in 1999 as a language-training centre in Istanbul. Over twenty-five years we have grown into a full-service education consultancy with offices and operations connected to Istanbul and Tehran, serving students who want to study, work and build lives in Europe and North America.

Our team includes former international students, licensed immigration advisors and university admissions officers. Every roadmap we build is grounded in the official requirements of embassies, universities and labour ministries — never marketing copy.

We help high-school graduates choosing their first degree, professionals seeking an MBA or specialisation, medical-school candidates preparing for IMAT, and founders applying for startup visas. Our multilingual student support ensures clarity at every stage, in the language our clients are most comfortable with.
