Project Overview

Book icon

Empowering the next generation of international doctors

Medefine Education Academy is a UK-based mentorship organization helping international students, particularly from the UAE and Hong Kong, gain admission into prestigious UK medical schools. The platform provides tailored support, including 1:1 mentoring, short- and long-term tutoring, and work experience preparation, bridging the information and support gap for aspiring doctors from abroad.

The website serves as the first point of contact for prospective students and schools looking to engage with Medefine’s specialized services.

Industry challenges

The medical school application process in the UK is rigorous and difficult to navigate, especially for international students. Medefine recognized that students lacked centralized, accessible, and trustworthy resources tailored to their background and region.

Primary target market

High school students in the United Arab Emirates and Hong Kong applying to UK medical schools, as well as international-focused secondary schools, looking to bring medical mentorship opportunities to their students.

Cultural considerations

Each regional audience required a tailored experience. Medefine needed a platform that could clearly route users based on location while offering consistent branding, cultural sensitivity, and localized calls to action.

Problem

Target icon

Client's challenge

Medefine was previously operating via Wix, which limited their ability to customize user journeys or present a refined, high-quality brand aligned with the premium mentorship services they offer.They needed a custom-built website and branding system that would:

  • Represent their identity as a trustworthy, expert-led medical mentorship organization
  • Deliver tailored entry points for UAE and Hong Kong-based users
  • Appeal to both students and schools through clearly differentiated pathway
  • Stand out with a visually compelling, personalized digital identity

The lack of consistent, differentiated branding and UX made it harder for Medefine to engage its audiences effectively and communicate the value of its high-touch services in a competitive education space.

Solution

Proposed solution

Linnify partnered with Medefine to build a fully customized digital presence that included branding, UX/UI design, and website development.

To solve the challenge of regional differentiation, the platform routes users based on their location (UAE or Hong Kong), ensuring that students immediately land on the version of the site that speaks directly to them. For institutional partners, a dedicated schools section showcases Medefine’s offerings and international tours, empowering school decision-makers to explore collaboration opportunities.

The branding process involved two rounds of concept refinement, ensuring the final identity fully aligned with Medefine’s target audience and mission. The UX strategy focused on simplifying user flows while balancing structure and creativity.

The result is a scalable, visually compelling, and user-centered platform that supports Medefine’s long-term growth across multiple international markets.
