About Yaldis
An admissions advisory built for
Yaldis Advisory Ltd is a London-based boutique advisory working where UK postgraduate admissions and visa compliance meet.
We help Master's and doctoral applicants reach leading universities, and we make sure every application is strong, honest and ready for scrutiny before it is sent.
Why Yaldis exists
Since 1 June 2026, UK universities that sponsor international students have been held to much tighter Home Office standards. A university's rating is set by its weakest result, so a small number of refused visas can put its licence at risk.
Many agents are still paid for sending as many applications as possible. Universities are now judged on how many of those students are refused, enrol and complete their course.
Yaldis was created to close that gap: fewer, stronger applications that are good for students and safe for the universities that accept them.
