Our mission: Connecting great minds with great places

As our mission statement, the following points should provide an idea of what goes into our work and efforts, what we are trying to achieve with UniFactory:


  • Connect universities and students
  • Help student make the right decision
  • Encourage students to broaden their horizons by providing them with more opportunities for academic and professional careers abroad
  • Provide information and relevant opinions about universities
  • City branding: promote different cities, their culture and educational system
  • Aime to attract more than just westerners, but also people with diverse cultural backgrounds
  • Give out objective advice to students
  • Ensure a long-term orientation as a non-profit organisation (most of our profits will go into funding educational projects)
  • Create a pleasant organisational culture and work climate where people love to work (tolerant to every culture, race, sexual orientation, gender, etc.)
  • Provide information in a 'fun' way.

Following that, here are the major themes and content ideas we will focus on in the future in order to create quality content that is relevant to our audience:

  • Provide university rankings as well as academic reviews based on objective professionals' views (journalists, scholars, etc.)
  • Personal experiences of students, their opinions of the places they've been, recommendations they have
  • Where to find the cheapest housing and practical information you wouldn't find anywhere else
  • Information about health care, comprehensive orientation information (meet and greet, pickup from the airport)
  • Information about store, laws, cheap places to shop at, traditional shops for people form specific cultures and communities
  • Survival guide to the city (basic elements such as how to fight the cold, the rain, where to get a bike)
  • Information about public transport and everyday information that students would want to know, such as where the nicest parties are
  • Solutions to problems people encounter while abroad during the first days, put in an entertaining and informative format
