German nationals of Pakistani origin who've walked the exact path you're on. Built to give honest, transparent guidance in a space that needs it.
Access Consulting was founded by Harris Azhar, a Germany-based practitioner with nearly nine years living, studying, and working in Germany. Having navigated admissions, visa, and career decisions himself, he saw how confusing, and how full of misinformation, this process is for Pakistani applicants.
We call ourselves the anti-agent. Harris was accepted into top American, Canadian, and German universities, including Columbia - but the funding offered wasn't enough to make it viable. So he chose Germany instead, on real numbers, not brand names.
The international education space is crowded with agents who overpromise, hide fees, and push students toward whatever pays them the most. We built Access to be the opposite: transparent, honest, and genuinely on your side.
Our team spans multiple continents, includes Fulbright and Chevening scholars, and professionals who've built careers at major global companies with real, measurable impact. We don't just get you admitted - we help you build a career once you're here.
The name isn't an accident. When we were applying, we didn't have access - to the right information, the right guidance, the right people who'd actually done it. Access Consulting exists so the next student doesn't have to figure it out alone the way we did.
Radical transparency
No hidden fees, no false promises. We tell you honestly what your options are β even when it's not what you hoped to hear.
Lived experience
We've personally navigated the admissions, visa, and settling process in Germany. This is guidance from people who've done it, not read about it.
Scam-free guidance
The consultancy space is full of bad actors. We built Access to be the honest alternative Pakistani applicants can actually trust.
We turn a confusing, high-stakes process into clear, manageable steps.
Access Consulting isn't built on theory. Our founder, Harris Azhar, walked the exact path you're on β every scholarship, every visa, every hard decision. Here's the journey.
Harris didn't read about this path. Employment confirmations from his roles across German finance and tech.
