UNITARGET was founded in 2011 by Bruno Steinkraus and Daniel Lobron, who met while studying at Imperial College London. Their goal was to counsel and support students applying to British universities. Lobron continued his studies with a Master in Nanotechnology at the University of Cambridge before embarking on a career as a data analyst with Google in 2015. Steinkraus is currently pursuing a PhD in Molecular Biology at the University of Oxford. Thanks to their personal experience and excellent network they can look back at many successful applications. Steinkraus and Lobron keep close ties to UNITARGET.
