A FEW WORDS ABOUT
Our Company, Valentia Novis
A South Ostrobothnian company from Finland
Valentia Novis in a Nutshell
Valentia Novis is a Finland-based international student recruitment consultancy dedicated to connecting ambitious international students with high-quality higher education opportunities across Europe.
We specialize in building trusted and personalized pathways between students and institutions, offering guidance that goes beyond admissions. Our approach focuses on meaningful student journeys, long-term academic support, and culturally informed guidance rather than mass recruitment. At the heart of our values is compliance with ethical practices set by Arene and Finnish Ministry of Education and as well with Finnish law and European GDPR.
Our expertise in the LATAM and ASEAN regions comes from both professional experience and personal exposure. Having lived and worked within these regions, we understand the educational aspirations, cultural perspectives, and decision-making processes of students and families across diverse international markets. This regional insight allows us to create more authentic connections between students and European institutions.
At the same time, our strong understanding of the Finnish education system, international student mobility, and strategic market positioning enables us to support institutions in reaching globally minded students through thoughtful and targeted engagement strategies.
We believe international education is not only about accessing a degree. It is about creating opportunities for personal growth, global perspectives, and long-term success.
Through trust, expertise, and a student-centred approach, Valentia Novis aims to bridge cultures, ambitions, and educational opportunities between Europe, LATAM, and ASEAN markets

“I am thrilled to be part of Valentia Novis. I have always done coding and this is a new challenge for me, to be able to develop the back-end and front-end of the webpage. I focus on getting things done and in results. Besides, at Valentia Novis we prioritise our customers at both ends in B2C and B2B”.
