Helping West African students study abroad since 2020
We started with universities in North Cyprus. We travelled to meet students in their own countries. Today our focus is China. This is our story so far.
2020
It started in North Cyprus
Ycove Education Agency Limited was registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission on 10 February 2020. Our first students applied to universities in North Cyprus, and hundreds more followed.
Our students applied to 6 universities there: University of Kyrenia, Bahçeşehir Cyprus University, Rauf Denktaş University, Near East University, Cyprus West University and Onbeş Kasım Kıbrıs University. We also helped some apply in Turkey and Belarus.

We went to meet students
From late 2020 to 2021 we worked with Nkhangfi Foundation. As part of that work, our team travelled to Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea in 2021 to meet students in person.

Now, China
Ycove students were admitted to two universities in China for September 2026. China is now our focus, and every student follows the same clear steps, from the first application to arriving on campus.

Today
Working with students from across West Africa
We work with genuine applications only.
We tell families plainly what we can and cannot control.
Students pay tuition directly to the university, never to us.
Working with Ycove
We are a registered student recruitment agency. For the universities we work with, we:
- Recruit students from across West Africa
- Check every applicant's documents are genuine and complete before anything is submitted
- Prepare applications to your requirements and deadlines
- Guide each admitted student through the X1 student visa
- Support students on arrival with airport pickup, campus registration and the residence permit
