StudyIn Announces Completion of its Transaction with SUN Education

LONDON, Sept. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- StudyIn, the world's most trusted higher education specialist, has announced the completion of its transaction with SUN Education. With 27 locations and 230 employees, SUN Education is Indonesia's largest study abroad agency, placing 2,000 students a year, primarily to universities in Australia.

Founded in 2010, SUN Education has established itself as a leading player in South-East Asia's student recruitment sector. It has built a strong reputation for quality, having forged deep partnerships with top universities across major destination markets. SUN Education will continue to be led by its founders, Fredy Subrata, Kevin Tan and Harianto Ani.

The transaction significantly advances the multi-destination ambitions of both companies. StudyIn's global business includes a market leading position in the UK and SUN Education brings a valuable footprint with Australian institutions.

As such, the deal is a milestone for the sector, creating a heavyweight multi-destination player with exciting growth prospects.
