Who We Are

Sarem Education — alumni-led Europe study abroad consultancy

Sarem Education was founded in 2018 by Sarah Ingrid (a 15+ year industry veteran) and Prem (a DCU and NCI graduate who has lived in Ireland since 2014). We are a Europe-focused consultancy — we process applications across the entire continent and maintain dedicated expertise at top hotspot destinations where opportunities are abundant: Ireland, France, Germany, Netherlands, UK, Spain, Italy, Sweden, and more. Our sister brand Study France (studyfrance.in) is India’s dedicated France-focused consultancy.

Europe across the board

We don’t limit you to a handful of English-speaking destinations. Ireland’s Critical Skills route, Germany’s tuition-free public universities, France’s Grandes Écoles and Paris-Saclay, Netherlands applied sciences, UK Russell Group, Spain IE/ESADE, Italy Bocconi/Politecnico, and the Nordic countries — wherever in Europe fits you best, we know the process.

Alumni-led — we’ve lived it

Co-founder Prem came to Ireland in 2014 as an international student, survived a fraudulent college that collapsed within days, rebuilt his education at DCU and NCI, and has lived in Ireland for 12+ years as an Irish citizen. We’ve personally walked the path you’re about to walk — and we guide you with honesty, not sales pressure.

Transparent, not free-for-everything

Initial counselling is always free. For most applications — where universities partner with Sarem — we charge zero processing fees. For tuition-free or very low-cost public universities (like Germany’s public system), where universities don’t compensate consultancies, we charge a transparent processing fee discussed upfront. You always know the exact cost before proceeding.

Students Across & Beyond India

We serve students across India and around the world

Sarem is headquartered in Chennai but our work is not geographically bounded. We’ve successfully processed applications for students from every state in India and from across the Middle East, Africa, and Asia-Pacific. Wherever you’re based, our counsellors are equipped to support you.

🇮🇳 Across India — every state

Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Delhi NCR, Punjab, Haryana, West Bengal, Odisha, Rajasthan, and the North East — we work with students from every corner of India. Most students never need to visit our Chennai office; the entire process runs on WhatsApp, video call, and email.

🌍 Beyond India — globally

We’ve successfully placed students from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Morocco, and other Middle East countries; from Nigeria, Kenya, and other African nations; and from the Philippines. If you’re an NRI, Gulf-based, or international student anywhere, Sarem processes your European university application remotely — from documentation to visa.

🗣 Multi-language counsellors

Our counsellors speak multiple languages — so students and parents from any region can have the full conversation in the language they’re most comfortable in. Parents often join our calls; we’ve answered many a parent’s question in their mother tongue.

🏴 Not a “southern-only” firm

Our Chennai headquarters is a detail, not a restriction. What matters is our knowledge of European admissions and our on-the-ground presence in Ireland through co-founder Prem. We serve you the same whether you’re in Chennai, Chandigarh, Dubai, Riyadh, Lagos, or Manila.

Our Team

Meet the people behind Sarem Education

Sarem is led by an alumni-founder team with a Chennai base and an Ireland base. Every student works directly with a senior counsellor. No call-centre agents, no hand-offs.

Prem
Co-Founder · DCU Graduate · Irish Citizen
“I want every student who comes to us to know the reality — the good, the difficult, and everything no one else will tell you. I’ve lived it.”

Prem came to Ireland in 2014 as an international student and experienced the worst possible start: a fraudulent college that shut within days of his arrival, leaving him stranded and financially ruined.

Rather than give up, he worked part-time, completed a diploma outside his field, secured DCU admission, enrolled at NCI simultaneously, graduated from both, and received two job offers on the same day. Today he is an Irish citizen who has lived in Ireland for over 12 years.

At Sarem Education, Prem ensures every student receives honest, reality-based guidance — including the risks and challenges that most consultants gloss over to make a sale.

What Students Say

In the words of our students — 4.9/5 star rated

Students describe Sarem as honest, responsive, and hands-on. See full reviews on Google and at saremeducation.com/testimonials.

★★★★★

Sarem guided me end-to-end for my MSc at DCU. The SOP help was precise, they secured a fee reduction scholarship, and the visa was approved first time. Prem actually checked in on me after arrival in Dublin.

— Priya R., MSc Cloud Computing, DCU Ireland
★★★★★

Every other consultancy pushed me toward UK or Canada. Sarem actually understood France — they walked me through Campus France, Paris-Saclay application, and Charpak. Got 50% tuition waiver. Study France team was outstanding.

— Karthik S., MSc AI, Paris-Saclay France
★★★★★

I’m based in Dubai and was worried a Chennai consultancy couldn’t help me. Sarah and team handled everything remotely — APS certificate for Germany, VFS visa from UAE, TU Munich admission. Never needed to visit Chennai. DAAD-funded now.

— Arjun M., MSc Mech Eng, TU Munich (from UAE)
★★★★★

My daughter had a housing emergency in Dublin in her first semester. Prem met her in person within 48 hours and helped resolve it with the accommodation provider. That kind of support doesn’t exist elsewhere.

— Prakash V., Parent, Chennai
FAQ

Frequently asked questions — about Sarem Education

Sarem Education is a Europe-focused study abroad consultancy headquartered in Chennai, India, founded in 2018. Led by Founder & CEO Sarah Ingrid (15+ years industry experience, 1000+ students placed) and Co-Founder Prem (DCU and NCI graduate, Irish citizen, 12+ years in Ireland). Sarem specialises in placing students at universities across Europe — Ireland, France, Germany, Netherlands, UK, Spain, Italy, Sweden, and other European destinations. Our sister brand Study France (studyfrance.in) is India’s dedicated France-focused consultancy. Services include profile evaluation, university shortlisting, SOP and LOR preparation, application submission, scholarship applications, education loan guidance, visa support, pre-departure briefing, and post-arrival support including in-person visits anywhere in Europe.
No. Sarem is Chennai-headquartered but serves students from every state in India and globally. We’ve successfully processed applications for students from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Morocco, Nigeria, Kenya, Philippines, and other Middle East and African countries. Our counsellors speak multiple languages — so students and parents from any region can have the full conversation in the language they’re most comfortable with. All consultations can be conducted remotely via WhatsApp, Zoom, or Google Meet. In-person visits to Chennai are optional, not required.
Three differentiators. (1) On-the-ground presence: Co-Founder Prem is an Irish citizen who has lived in Ireland since 2014 and personally travels to meet students across Europe when situations demand physical presence — university disputes, housing crises, documentation emergencies. No other Indian overseas consultancy offers this. (2) Alumni-led: we have personally walked the student path in Europe, including the hardest parts — Prem survived a fraudulent college in 2014 and rebuilt his education at DCU and NCI. (3) Europe across the board: we don’t limit you to commission-heavy destinations. Ireland’s Critical Skills route, Germany’s tuition-free public system, France’s Grandes Ecoles, Netherlands, UK Russell Group, Spain, Italy, Nordics — we know each country’s real process.
Initial counselling is always free. After that, our fee model is transparent: (1) For most applications – private universities and public universities that partner with Sarem – we charge zero processing fees because universities compensate us for qualified placements. (2) For fully tuition-free or very low-cost public universities (such as Germany’s public universities where tuition is free, and some low-fee French public institutions) where universities do not compensate consultancies, we charge a transparent processing fee discussed upfront – no hidden charges. You always know the exact cost before proceeding, and the decision is yours. The other costs students always pay (regardless of consultancy) are third-party fees: IELTS/TOEFL test fees, visa application fees, and tuition paid directly to the university.
Sarem Education’s office is at 3rd Floor, Lakshmi Bhavan Sundaram Avenue, Kriya Coworks, Anna Salai, Chennai, Tamil Nadu 600006, India. Office hours: Monday to Friday 10:00 to 18:30 IST, Saturday 10:00 to 16:00, closed Sunday. Phone: +91 8248 228 446 (primary), +91 9080 349 242 (secondary), +91 9344 433 218 (Study France team). Email: info@saremeducation.com, info@studyfrance.in. Remote video consultations via WhatsApp, Zoom, or Google Meet are available for students anywhere in India or worldwide — physical visit is optional.
Yes — uniquely among Indian overseas consultancies. Co-Founder Prem is an Irish citizen based in Ireland. When situations demand physical presence — a university administrative dispute, a housing crisis, a documentation emergency, a police or immigration issue — Prem or a Sarem representative will travel to meet the student anywhere in Europe. Standard post-arrival support (regardless of emergency) includes first-semester and first-year check-ins, university or institution meetings attended on the student’s behalf, crisis resolution with local authorities/landlords/institutions, and post-study work permit plus career guidance when the student is ready. Over 1000 students supported post-arrival. Zero students left without support.
Most students come to Sarem unsure of the right country. Our first counselling session is specifically designed to help you decide. We evaluate your academic profile, career goals, budget, timeline, and preferences, then recommend 2-3 countries and shortlist specific programmes. For example: engineering with post-study work rights → Ireland or Germany; tuition-free public system → Germany; AI/ML research at elite universities → France (Paris-Saclay) or Ireland (DCU/UCD); MBA → France (INSEAD, HEC), UK, or Ireland; applied sciences at lower cost → Netherlands, TU Ireland, or Poland; design & fashion → Italy. We don’t push destinations – we match the student to the programme.
We respond to every enquiry within 24 hours on business days. WhatsApp is the fastest channel — typical response within a few hours during office time (Mon-Sat, 10am-6:30pm IST). Phone calls are picked up during office hours. Email enquiries to info@saremeducation.com receive a full written response within 24 business hours. International students (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Africa, Philippines) should WhatsApp for fastest response; our counsellors are reachable for calls outside Chennai hours if scheduled in advance.
