Guide for parents and supporters

We’ve been helping students embark on inspirational journeys since 1885. So, we know that this is an exciting and crucial time, not only for students, but for parents and supporters too.

You will naturally have questions and want to support your student on their journey to university, ensuring that they are well-prepared for this significant step.

Your involvement can make a big difference. From researching universities to navigating the application process. By understanding how the process works you can help them make a successful application and give you peace of mind that they’re safe, happy and have made the right choice.
