A unique service – comprehensive University Advice available to Independent Schools
Education Advisers offers University advice via independent schools, some of it without charge.
Most independent schools have their own HE or UCAS or Careers specialist. However, there is often a need for additional specialist advice or simply a different external perspective.
1. Individual consultations
Some degree choices can be a little complex, especially when a pupil is uncertain or decides to change course ambitions. Fee paid consultations for pupils and parents are available with our team of experienced Admissions Tutors and Careers specialists. The members of our team are: -

2. Seminars
We can arrange daytime or evening seminars on the school site. These can either be on a generic theme such as “How to make your university and degree choice”, or more specialised such as “The new process for applications to medical school”. We charge a modest fee (+ travel expenses) depending on the theme.
3. University eGuides and Reports
We have 7 eGuides on University issues (see below). Schools can take these, edit them to their own perspective and then publish them in the school’s name. How much do these cost? You can have any one eGuide for free (as long as you give EA a credit), alternatively, a school can even take all 7 eGuides and set them up as your own Sixth form extranet. We even give you an online library of university advice sources. How much does this cost? You still pay nothing for the material but we do require you to use another web service from Education Advisers Ltd, which start at £500.
The 7 eGuides are
- The University & Courses Choice eGuide
- The UCAS application process eGuide
- The cost of going to UNI eGuide
- Student finance eGuide
- How to make your A level choices eGuide
- University clearing eGuide
- Tactics, interviews & personal statements eGuide
To use these eGuides and also receive the online university advice library simply fill out the following enquiry form and submit.
