What The Uni Guide is

The Uni Guide is a free web service that helps students consider higher education choices through interactive tools, advice, and statistics. Its course search lets students search, sort, compare, and shortlist more than 30,000 full-time and part-time degree courses via UCAS, then match predicted or actual grades to entry requirements. Course profiles include entry requirements, tuition fees, modules, content, and student satisfaction ratings. More than 300 university and college profiles provide league-table rankings and comments from current students. The A-level Explorer connects A-level subjects with possible degree subjects and can help Year 11 students weigh subject combinations. The site also publishes jargon-free advice and guides, with contributions from admissions tutors, careers advisers, and students. Its UCAS-based listings cover more than 32,000 undergraduate degrees lasting at least two years, from over 350 universities and colleges; UCAS course details are continually updated most days throughout the year. The Uni Guide is available on the web, including mobile access. The Student Room Group is the data controller for information collected through the site, and its privacy notice says it currently does not display third-party adverts that use personal data.
