University and Career Counselling at GESS
At GESS, University and Career Counselling play a key role in supporting students as they plan for life beyond school. Our programme provides clear guidance, personalised support, and global expertise to help students make well-informed decisions about their post-secondary pathways.
Our counsellors guide students through the increasingly complex higher education landscape, ensuring each pathway reflects the student’s strengths, interests, and long-term goals.
Our Approach
University and Career Counselling at GESS follows a student-centred and globally informed approach, with strong emphasis on best-fit outcomes rather than prestige alone.

Ethical practice, transparency, and equitable access are central to our work, ensuring students receive accurate, up-to-date information and clear guidance at every stage
