International Education consultancy in Brazil and Latin America
About Maze
Based between São Paulo and London, Maze Education aims to promote UK, European and Australian education opportunities in Brazil and the wider Latin American region.
Maze helps partners facilitate engagement strategies that build brand awareness, increase student recruitment activity and create meaningful partnerships in the region. We seek to create long term, sustainable opportunities.
Investing in a long term LATAM engagement strategy brings diversity to the classroom and campus, and opens important links with a region of untapped potential.
Maze has most recently directed regional operations for the Australian National University. By developing new regional stakeholder networks we've built brand awareness, created long term strategic partnerships and increased student recruitment numbers.
What we offer
Maze engages at a senior level with a variety of regional stakeholders including schools, agents, Government bodies and universities to highlight the diversity and excellence of education opportunities in the UK, Europe and Australia.
Institutional Partnerships & Engagement
Brazil is home to nearly 300 public and over 2200 private universities. Maze facilitates meaningful partnerships and collaborative engagement between partners. We can support research collaboration, joint academic programmes, student and staff mobility and TNE opportunities. We also work with regional bodies enabling partners to access the latest information on relevant sponsorship schemes.
Agents
Brazil and the wider LATAM market is heavily reliant on agents. ICEF reported in 2019 that 86% of Brazilians studying overseas worked with an agent during the application process. The on the ground presence that we provide allows partners to engage with agents and their students more effectively. Maze works closely with relevant regional agents to ensure partners achieve maximum ROI from agent recruitment channels.
International Schools Network
Latin America is home to a thriving private / international school sector providing unique learning environments for expats and globally minded local students. There are over 1200 bilingual high schools in Brazil alone offering a wide variety of international curriculums. Maze works with partners to create and implement high school engagement strategies and work closely with school counsellors, students and parents.
