Same name, but the portfolio, exams and career after graduation are different.
The child wants a creative career but can’t clearly say which one
There is a portfolio, but it’s unclear whether it meets specific programme requirements
It’s unclear how to apply through foreign platforms and communicate with the university
Different countries, different entrance exam formats — hard to compare
It seems there is still time, but preparing a portfolio actually takes months
Book a consultation and map out a clear admission path for your child
Book a consultationWe build preparation around the requirements of chosen programmes and universities — from the initial assessment to application and admission.
The child’s strengths, current level, interests, timeline
Field, countries, programmes and a realistic preparation plan
Not in general, but for the requirements of specific universities
From application to enrolment
Haven’t chosen a field yet
You know the field, but there’s no portfolio yet
There are basic works that need to reach university level
Choosing between countries and programmes
You need full coordination from start to submission
65 universities in 14 countries. At least five new universities are added every year.

Real assignments, volunteering and joint projects with the centre’s partners
When we move on to building your admission strategy, your case will be guided by the head of the department — someone who works with international education every day

Head of ISAD Career Center
“My job is not just to offer a list of universities, but to help the student understand which field suits them, how programmes differ and what admission will take. A good strategy starts with understanding the student, and only then with choosing a university.”
Our students’ university map grows every year: we pay great attention to both preparation and partnerships with the world’s best creative universities.
We prepare students in creative disciplines and help them get into their dream universities. Hear what our graduates say on Alumni Talks.
Alumni Talks — conversations with INDIGO graduates who got into top universities worldwide: about preparation, studying and the life they were aiming for.
Didn’t find an answer? We’ll go through your situation at a consultation.
The cost depends on the programme and scope — from a one-off consultation to full support. We’ll name the exact price for your situation after the assessment, not by a one-size-fits-all template.
No, and anyone who promises that is most likely misleading you. We help build the strongest possible strategy and portfolio, but the decision is always made by the university or the scholarship provider.
No. All the work is created by the student — we help with ideas, feedback, structure and presentation. This is a matter of principle: the university should see the child’s real abilities, not our work.
No, but we help build the structure, refine the content and edit the text: the letter should reflect the candidate’s own experience and views.
From 12. The earlier, the more time for a conscious choice of field and preparation, but we also help those who come later.
No, we consider both Kazakhstani and international programmes — comparing them by content, not by how “prestigious” they sound.
Yes, these are separate formats — you don’t have to take the full programme right away.
That’s a normal part of the journey: the strategy is built with a main route and backup routes, not tied to a single decision.
The sooner there’s a plan, the more time there is to prepare. We’ll go through your situation and tell you honestly which path suits your child.
