Resources
We are pleased to be able to offer resources to support teachers and advisers delivering advice on university applications. Our Teachers’ Toolkit is designed to assist teachers and guidance staff who are supporting pupils to apply to university. It explains the terminology used and how these might vary across institutions, enabling you to support your applicants to make informed choices.
