Who we are

A community, not an agency

Everything started from a dream. The dream to study in the United Kingdom, to build an international future, to go beyond borders.

Mission Study Abroad was born in 2022 to transform that dream into a concrete and achievable project.

The idea comes from Maria Visaggio, who has experienced the British university world from the inside: for years she worked in the international education sector and as a Student Recruitment Manager for prestigious UK universities. Today, she puts all her experience at the service of those who, like you, want to leave, change perspective, and live a lifechanging adventure.

Over the years, Mission Study Abroad has become a point of reference for hundreds of Italian students. We organize events, online and in-person discussions, and networking opportunities where you don’t just receive information, but build relationships.

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:

    1. Student Recruit Advisors: mostly former Italian students who studied in the UK, they guide students step by step with professionalism and practicality.
    2. 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.
