Find a challenge
Browse live briefs from real UK and global businesses — sorted by skill, not by where you live. Open to students in India, Africa, Southeast Asia and anywhere else.
For international students
Your work travels. Your degree shouldn't have to.
UK employers can't assess a degree from Lagos or Mumbai. They can assess work they've already seen. Build a verified record of real employer work before you apply anywhere — and let the work speak before you arrive.

The problem
Most international applicants compete on where they're from. We compete on what they can do.
Most international applicants to UK universities compete on grades, rankings and personal statements — with no way to show what they can actually do. UK employers receive hundreds of CVs from candidates whose work they've never seen. The passport fixes both problems at once.
Merit-based
Your work is graded by the employer who set the brief — not by where you went to school or where you grew up.
Geography-free
Take on challenges from anywhere in the world. Submissions are assessed on quality, not on your postcode.
Permanently verified
Every stamp links to your submission and your scorecard. No vague claims. One-click verification for any employer or university.
University-ready
UK partner universities use your Industry Passport when making offers. Proven capability carries more weight than a personal statement alone.
How it works
Five steps. No borders.
Complete qualifying tasks
A short, structured intro so employers can see your starting level before you begin the main brief.
Work on the brief
Submit your work alongside students from around the world. Assessed on quality alone — analytical rigour, communication, problem solving.
Receive your Industry Passport stamp
Verified by the company that set the challenge — added permanently to your passport. Share it with universities when you apply. Share it with employers before you graduate.
Get spotted — by universities and employers
UK universities and global employers see your verified record and reach out. You don't cold-apply. They come to you.
The Industry Passport
The credential that travels with you — wherever you go next.
Every challenge you complete adds to your record. Not a badge. Not a certificate. A verified piece of work, scored by the employer who set it, linked back to your submission. That travels everywhere.
Pin it to LinkedIn, attach it to a university application, or share it with an employer at any stage.
University applications
Your passport supports your application — not the other way around.
UK partner universities on New Horizons consider your Industry Passport as part of their admissions process. For postgraduate programmes especially, a verified record of employer-graded work carries significant weight alongside your academic qualifications.
