About Studee

Bringing more clarity to international admissions

Studee is building a better way to manage international admissions for schools, students, and universities.

International admissions is harder than it should be

Students, schools, and universities are trying to manage a process that was never designed to work smoothly across countries, systems, and timelines.

Information gets scattered. Ownership becomes unclear. Progress is hard to track. Too much still depends on manual follow-up.

Studee exists to fix that.

We are the university applications workspace bringing clarity, connection, and control to international admissions. We do that by bringing research, applications, and the people involved into one clearer, more connected process.

Why we started here

This affects the whole admissions journey, but schools often carry the operational burden.

Counselors are the ones keeping applications moving across different destinations, deadlines, documents, portals, and people. Too often, they are piecing the full picture together from spreadsheets, inboxes, shared drives, and memory.

That is not where their time adds the most value.

Their time is better spent guiding students, not chasing updates or reconstructing what happened last.

What we are building

The University Application Workspace (UAW) is a shared workspace for managing university applications. It brings applications, tasks, deadlines, documents, and updates into one place, so it is easier to see what is happening, what is missing, and what needs to happen next.

This is where Studee is different.

We are not treating international admissions as just a search problem or another workflow layer on top of the mess. We are focused on the real operational challenge underneath it all: keeping everyone aligned, informed, and moving forward when the process is spread across multiple systems and stakeholders.

Why that matters

  • When visibility is poor, people chase.
  • When ownership is unclear, things stall.
  • When information is spread across too many places, mistakes become more likely.

Studee is built to reduce that friction.

For schools and counselors, that means less chasing, better oversight, and more confidence that nothing important is being missed.

For students, it means clearer next steps and better support.

For universities, it means better organized applications and smoother coordination.

Why we are well placed to build it

Studee was founded by Chris Morling and Simon Andrews.

Chris has built category-leading digital platforms and knows how to simplify complex processes through product.

Simon has spent more than 20 years in international higher education and understands how international admissions works in practice.

Together, they bring product discipline and sector understanding to a problem that needs both.

Built with the people closest to the work

We are building Studee with practicing counselors, not separately from them.

Through our Counselor Circle and ongoing feedback, we shape the product around real workflows, real constraints, and real school challenges. That helps us build something genuinely useful, not just something that sounds good in theory.

Where we are heading

We believe international admissions should be more unified, more collaborative, and far easier to manage.

Students should have a clearer path through the process. Schools should have better visibility and coordination. Universities should spend less time dealing with avoidable friction.

Studee is being built to make that possible.
