For universities and agencies
The logistics bridge for your students. Grow your international enrolments without the stress.
Kimere is an advanced consulting hub acting as the operational bridge between universities, the destination country and recruitment agencies. You handle marketing and family relations. We take on the most complex and expensive part. We manage files, consulates, scholarships and the entire arrival of the student.
Two conversations
Universities and agencies have different needs, we answer both.
A university seeks enrolments from markets it struggles to manage after the offer letter. An agency looks for a reliable partner on the ground without having to build a local structure. Two different needs deserve two dedicated paths.
For universities
Your office stops at the offer letter. That is exactly where you lose the best candidates.
Almost nothing that makes you lose a foreign candidate happens during admission. Problems arise in the bureaucratic gap between admission and the first lecture. No internal office has the staff to manage every timezone and language. We fill exactly that operational gap.
-
The individual workload your office cannot absorb
We handle residence permits, tax codes, registrations and housing disputes for every single student. We lighten your team's desks by working behind the scenes, without ever replacing the university's name.
-
Scholarship answers backed by official sources
We accurately calculate income-based benefits for every country. We provide definitive answers based on official sources, ready to be forwarded to families without further verification.
-
A single point of contact, in the candidate's language
If we cover the country you recruit from, we assign one of our local experts. They will directly manage communications with your office and the family, eliminating misunderstandings and the need for interpreters.
For agencies
You keep the relationship, we handle the bureaucracy on the ground.
We work as your operational arm in Italy and not as a competing agency. You manage marketing, recruitment and family relations, protecting the investment made in your market. The moment pre-enrolment opens on Universitaly, the file passes to our dedicated coordinator. We take care of everything until the student is finally settled. You will receive constant updates while keeping full ownership of the client.
Your role in the local market
- Marketing and recruitment
- First contact and academic pre-assessment
- The relationship with the student and the family
Transition at Universitaly pre-enrolment
Our operational role in Italy
- Course and university guidance, qualification recognition
- Consular file prepared to that consulate's standard
- Residence permit filed within 8 working days
- Tax code, registered residence, national healthcare
- Housing search, lease reviewed before signature, registration
Our contractual guarantees, in black and white
- No unfair competition. We do not market directly to your students and we do not recruit in your market.
- The student remains your exclusive client for the entire duration of the agreement. We report progress directly to you.
- Every commercial term is agreed in writing before starting. We clearly define fees, status and payments, with no surprises along the way.
- We assign you a dedicated coordinator with a direct contact. No shared inboxes or impersonal ticket systems.
How we build a solid partnership
- 01
The first conversation
We analyze your volumes, active destinations and the actual appeal of Italy for your students. In half an hour we tell you with total transparency if a collaboration makes sense.
- 02
Clear and written rules
We define exactly where your work ends and ours begins. We put commercial conditions and reporting frequency in black and white.
- 03
A small pilot project
We test the process by following a small group of students from start to finish. Both teams evaluate the effectiveness on real files and concrete deadlines before scaling volumes.
- 04
The final formal agreement
We only lock in the agreement when the pilot project proves the model works. Conditions are based on concrete results achieved, not simple forecasts.
The first step
The free online seminar is built around the needs of your market.
We meet with your team to address the real challenges of your market. If you aim for Italy, we train you on scholarships, income brackets and the ISEE. If you are interested in France, we study French regulations and bring you the solutions. The material produced during the session will remain entirely at your disposal.
- Completely customized to your destination of interest.
- Clarifications on scholarships, fees and academic qualifications based on institutional sources.
- The first strategic session is totally free and without commitment.
- A final written summary that will remain at your disposal for any future use.
How we structure the session
- 01
We analyze your students' goals
Just tell us the destination, the level of studies and the questions you struggle to find reliable answers for. We start from there.
- 02
Tailored market research
If we already operate in the requested country, we transfer our direct expertise. If it is a new destination, we conduct thorough and transparent research on the sources.
- 03
Operational meeting with your team
A one-hour online session designed for your operational staff. We encourage real-time questions to resolve immediate doubts.
- 04
Delivery of the written summary
A comprehensive document with official sources, ready to be used internally by your team. Zero commercial pressure afterwards.
A single, completely free session with no obligation to partner. We are happy just to have provided you with valuable information for your work.
The obstacle
Why foreign universities stall on Italy and how we solve the problem
The main barrier for international offices is not knowing exactly how to quantify costs for families. In Italy, financial aid depends on complex income indicators almost unknown abroad. Economic uncertainty scares people more than high tuition, effectively blocking enrolments. We accurately calculate that number, finally unlocking the academic corridor.
- 90+ ministry-recognised universities, in every region of the country
- Up to 100% exemption from tuition and the regional student fee for scholarship holders
- 3 + 2 Bologna structure, ECTS credits — a qualification that travels
- 20 h of paid work per week while studying, 1,040 hours a year
-
Nobody can tell the family what it will actually cost
Italian tuition is a sliding scale based on family income, not a fixed price. Quoting the maximum amount scares families, pushing them to give up on almost free courses.
Our solution We provide the exact, real figure for the specific candidate profile. We do this backed by public sources, allowing your office to reassure families with absolute certainty.
-
The ISEE is a black box
This indicator decides financial aid and taxes, but it must be reconstructed using documents issued abroad and in different languages. This complexity leads many candidates to abandon the procedure.
Our solution We support the family by reconstructing the indicator document by document. We submit the paperwork respecting government deadlines, which often do not coincide with university deadlines.
-
Recognition of the qualification looks like an insurmountable wall
A foreign diploma requires a legal translation and a lengthy validation process. This procedure discourages international offices due to tight admission timeframes.
Our solution We internally manage the entire file and legal translations, calculating timelines backwards from the deadline. We always remind you that the comparability statement remains the exclusive competence of CIMEA or the university. Beware of those offering fake shortcuts.

Discover our services
All financial details are discussed and formalised in a written agreement before starting operations. We will confirm amounts, billing currencies and tax charges to guarantee you maximum financial clarity.
Service limits and the transparency we owe you
- We do not guarantee the acquisition of visas, admissions or scholarships. Decisions belong exclusively to official bodies. Beware of anyone guaranteeing 100% certain results.
- University tuition and public fees must be paid directly to the competent bodies and are not included in our operational fees.
- We act as consultants and not as a real estate agency. We verify the legality of housing on your behalf, but we do not collect deposits or down payments.
- Every commercial term is discussed and contractually signed before starting procedures. The public fee is just the solid starting point for defining a partnership.
Due diligence in total transparency
- The company has been operating since June 2026 and is incorporated as KIMERE CONSULTING & ACADEMY SRLS, with VAT number 03160110346 active since 10 September 2026. We will share all official documentation during the operational due diligence phase.
- We operate independently, with no accreditations from Italian public bodies. The information provided is always based on official sources verifiable via direct links.
- We have no issuing power over visas and residence permits. Such decisions remain the unquestionable domain of consulates and Police Headquarters.
- Verifying housing on behalf of the student is a logistical service. We do not carry out direct real estate brokerage activities.
