Work / Case Study
GradGate Consulting
China Admissions & Scholarship Application Platform
I built GradGate as an end-to-end platform for students applying to Chinese universities and scholarship programs, combining eligibility assessment, dynamic pricing, application guidance, document requirements and applicant workflows into one digital experience.

The Business Problem
Applying to universities abroad involves programme choices, funding routes, fees and document requirements. Students need to understand how these pieces fit together before they can make an informed decision or submit an application.
The Solution
The platform turns that service journey into a guided digital experience. Applicants can explore eligibility, estimate fees, understand required documents and follow the steps from assessment to an admissions decision.
