The UCAS Careers Quiz – personalised career matches

Using the power of real-world data, personality profiling and labour market information our new Careers Quiz matches your students to their best suited career options. And most importantly, we tell them which higher education courses others have studied to get them there.

Training to support you

Versatile training options – online, face-to-face, or personalised – available at a time and place that suits you. Whether you're familiar with UCAS or brand new to our tools and support, we know how important it is that every teacher and adviser feels confident guiding students through their higher education options. We have a range of training and support to suit you.

UCAS for International

UCAS has been helping connect the world to UK Higher Education since 1992, supporting over one million international students to make their UK study dream a reality. As pressure on providers to improve the quality and diversity increases, and the local and global competition intensifies, UCAS is here to ensure you and your teams can deliver your international recruitment and admissions goals.

Undergraduate: Care experienced students

If you are in care, or have experience of being in care in the past, there's lots of support available in higher education to help you with finance, accommodation, and settling in.

University events for school and college students

From open days and taster courses to exhibitions and lectures, university events can offer significant support for your higher education guidance work – and to the academic experience of your students.
