Which? and The Student Room have worked together to ensure that valuable content
from the award-winning Which? University website could continue to be easily
available to students, parents and teachers. From 3 February 2020, the course
and university search tools and much of the independent expert advice developed
by Which? to help students make informed choices is now owned and operated by
The Student Room, as The Uni Guide. The site retains its design and the key
student-facing services. It also maintains the Which? University ethos of
focusing on the needs of the student and delivering the highest quality expert
advice and guidance, independently and free of bias. “We are delighted to have
found a great new home for much of our excellent university content," says Jenni
Allen, Director of Content at Which?. "We chose to work with the Student Room as
they share our mission to be a trusted, independent source of information for
students. "We are exceptionally proud of the fact that we have helped millions
of prospective students and their families make informed choices about all
aspects of their higher education over the years, and our agreement with The
Student Room ensures that many more will benefit in future.” “As part of The
Student Room family, The Uni Guide will allow us to help even more students in
their educational journey," says Pete Barnes, managing director of The Student
Room. "We will continue to develop the site as a market-leading source of
guidance and will be introducing new services to deepen the support we offer to
university applicants.” For student finance and other information now available
on the Which? site The Uni Guide is a free and unbiased university advice
service from the The Student Room, which is based on content that was originally
hosted on Which? University. Our mission is to help students make the best
possible choices and get the most out of their educational career. The Uni Guide
does this through interactive tools, straightforward advice, and key stats
(including explaining what these numbers actually mean). This way, you have
everything you need to decide with confidence where you want to spend the next
three years of your life studying. We can help you… Find a university course:
search, sort, compare and shortlist from more than 30,000 full-time and
part-time degree courses via UCAS. Match your predicted or actual grades to
courses’ entry requirements to narrow down your search. Our course profiles
contain full entry requirements, tuition fees, modules and course-content info,
and satisfaction ratings from students. Learn more about a university or
college: view over 300 university and college profiles to get the latest
league-table ranking, comments from current students and more. Match your
A-levels to degree course possibilities: enter your subjects into our A-level
Explorer to see the full breadth of degree subjects you could study (including
ones that weren’t on your radar). If you’re a Year 11 student choosing A-levels,
you can use the Explorer to see where different combinations will leave you in
two years’ time (particularly useful if you already have a degree subject in
mind). Enter the ones you’re mulling over and see whether they’ll lead you down
the right path. Get tips and advice at each stage: you don’t have to make the
journey to university alone. Read jargon-free advice and guides, including guest
posts from external experts (admission tutors and careers advisers) and personal
student stories.
