About Us: Your UK University Admissions Experts
A community, not an agency
It all started with a dream: to study in the UK, build an international future, and go beyond borders.
Mission Study Abroad was founded in 2022 to turn that dream into an achievable reality.
The vision belongs to Maria Visaggio, who has experienced the British university world from the inside out. For years, she worked in international education and as a Student Recruitment Manager for prestigious UK universities. Today, she channels all her expertise into helping students like you who want to take the leap, shift their perspective, and embark on a life-changing adventure.
Over the years, Mission Study Abroad has become a trusted benchmark for hundreds of Italian students. We host events, online and in-person sessions, and networking opportunities where you don't just gather information—you build meaningful connections.

Our Team
Maria Visaggio
CEO & Founder
Alongside Maria, there is a carefully selected team of people who bring their skills, professionalism, and experience to serve students:
-
- Student Recruit Advisors: mostly former Italian students who studied in the UK, they guide students step by step with professionalism and practicality.
- Academic Tutors: graduates and PhDs from top UK universities, they support students in more structured courses such as Bachelor’s, Master’s, and PhD programs at top universities.
Our Mission
Breaking down barriers. Creating opportunities. Offering an accessible international future to everyone.
Studying in the UK should not be a privilege for the few. Too many students give up before even starting: scared by the language, slowed down by the unfamiliar education system, confused by costs or visa procedures.
Mission Study Abroad was created precisely to overcome these obstacles, one by one. We dream of a world where no one has to give up studying abroad due to lack of information or resources.
With a team that has lived abroad, worked in universities, and knows the mechanisms from the inside, we offer personalized guidance, concrete and continuous support.
Our goal is to make access to international education transparent, guided, and practical. And to ensure every Italian student knows they are not alone. There is a whole community ready to walk with them.
Our Mission
We imagine a future where Mission Study Abroad is the point of reference for every Italian student dreaming of an international academic path.
We want to expand our services, strengthen partnerships with the most prestigious universities, and create a global network where talent, ambition, and accessibility meet.
We want the Mission Study Abroad brand to stand for trust, quality, and real opportunity.
Our Values
Accessibility
Education is a right, not a privilege. We make the path to UK universities understandable, organized, and open to everyone, regardless of economic background.
Empowerment
We train conscious, informed, and autonomous students. We provide tools, knowledge, and strategies to face every step with confidence.
Personalized Excellence
Every path is unique. That’s why our support adapts to the person, not the other way around. Together we develop a tailor-made plan that leads the student to the best goal for them.
