Choosing the right university is a major decision for your young person. As a parent or guardian, you’ll want to help them with this decision and learn more about our courses and what life is like at ÉëÒ÷Ö®Íõ.

To answer your questions about helping your young person through the various stages of making a university application, this page contains useful resources and information about things to consider. We’ve also created a digital student toolkit where your young person can get advice and support through their application, or they can have a one-to-one chat with current students and advisers.

The best way to see all that we have to offer is to visiting us at an Open Day, where you and your young person can talk to current students and staff, explore the campus and get a feel for student life at ÉëÒ÷Ö®Íõ and find out why we're an "excellent" five star rated university [QS Top Universities].

What makes us special?

Don’t just take our word for it, our students and independent organisations have awarded us several accolades. Students voted us into the top 30 best UK universities [25th in Uni Compare rankings and 27th in WhatUni Student Choice Awards], we’re in the top 10 for sustainability and, demonstrating our inclusivity, we’re the first university to achieve a silver Race Equality Charter award.
