UED (International Education Consultants Association) is an organization that brings together reliable companies that provide consultancy services in education abroad. It was established in May 2001 by 15 overseas education consultancy companies that have adopted the principle of quality, reliability and high standard service.

Focusing on strengthening its institutional structure in the early years of its establishment, UED has increased its membership criteria and has always been selective about new members, while increasing the number of its members to 36 over the years.

UED, the first association of the overseas education consultancy sector in our country, has also worked to improve its international recognition, has become a member of FELCA-Federation of Education & Language Consultancy Associations, and has also collaborated with STUDYTRAVEL NETWORK, ENGLISH UK, IALC.

As an organization that brings together hundreds of overseas education consultants with member organization offices spread all over Turkey, UED has consolidated its pioneering identity in the sector by winning the Star Agency Association award in its category at the Study Travel Magazine Star Awards, which is considered the most important award in the international education world, 5 times in 2013, 2015, 2016, 2022 and 2024. UED, the first organization from Turkey to win this award in any category, has also made our country proud by leaving behind representatives of countries such as Brazil, Germany, Russia, Spain, Switzerland and Thailand, which are far ahead of our country in terms of the number of students going abroad.
