Why Huntbridge
Educational Expertise
We are led by a former Senior Leader of a major UK Secondary School and bring together experienced educators both at an International and local level. This allows us to meet the needs of families and students especially those who come from an international background and wish to understand what pathways can be opened up for them by studying in Albania as well as what the most appropriate educational choices are. The most important aspect of our business is our integrity; thus we will not make any promises that we cannot fulfil or give advice that is not based on established facts. While other agencies may chase commissions, we prioritise you, the person who is receiving their education here.
We can also provide support to Educational Institutions drawing on expertise and experience that is uncommon here in Albania. We work with the British Council and other organisations and partners to truly ensure that your educational provision is outstanding in every sense of the word.
On the ground insight
By being physically present here in Tirana, we have invested significant time and resources into gaining a true insight into the Educational Scene at School and University level in Albania. We pay close attention to the work done by the Ministria e Arsimit (Ministry of Education) as well as local schools, Gjimnazi (Upper secondary school for ages 15-18) and Universities both private and public. We have also established relationships with many local institutions, often knowing each other on a first name basis, we are able to see beyond flashy prospectuses and give you real, and meaningful insight on what your best Educational options are here in Albania.
From Start to Finish
The boutique nature of our organisation means that we are able to provide truly personalised support to you on your educational journey. We do not just simply focus on placements and leave you to it, when we say bespoke support on every step, we mean it. This can present itself in a variety of ways, including but in no way limited to:
Coaching and Support with filling in application forms correctly
Direct introductions to key personnel in your preferred educational institution
On the ground help including personally accompanying you on tours and visits as well as general orienteering help if you are new to Albania.
Ongoing support following successful school or university placements with communications, extracurricular, private tutoring, extra qualifications etc
Why Albania? “Njeriu pa arsim, si pema pa rrënjë.” (“A person without Education is like a Tree without roots”)
Albania might not be on your typical list of Educational Institutions, but you may find yourself surprised by what is offered here. The scene in many ways reflects the History of this beautiful country; borne out of fiercely proud traditions, culture and values, a story of survival even in the greatest depths of adversity to a modern day and age that is brimming with vibrancy and opportunity. As a developing economy on the cusp of bigger and greater things, Albania is truly opening up to International Students and families. Opportunities here are extensive and growing all the time, at a fraction of the cost compared to elsewhere you can find pathways to…
Global Qualifications including the IB, iGCSE’s/A Levels, the USA High School Diploma and much more
National Albanian Qualifications with international progression to elite universities across Europe (including the United Kingdom), the USA and beyond
European-aligned and professionally focused degrees within the Bologna framework with accredited programmes in areas including Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Engineering, Business and Technology.
It is also a wonderful place to live. Filled to the brim with natural beauty, vibrant cities such as Tirana and Vlorë with arts, culture, incredible dining options and incredible variety. It is among the lowest cost of living options in Europe with an overall cost of living 27% below EU averages according to Eurostat with day to day costs being substantially cheaper. It provides a safe and welcoming environment with a Law and Order index score of 85/100. Independent international surveys show that a large majority of people in Albania report feeling safe in their local communities, including when walking alone at night. International survey data indicate that many women in Albania also feel safe in their local communities. Combined with a strong family-oriented culture and relatively low levels of everyday violent crime, Albania offers a welcoming environment for international students, families and many women living or travelling independently.
The coffee is pretty good too!
