More about The Uni Guide

News update | 16 July 2024
Launching a vibrant new look for The Uni Guide

The Student Room is delighted to unveil a fresh and compelling design for The Uni Guide, as part of our wider company rebrand.

Leading with our primary colour of violet, this new look updates The Uni Guide with the unmistakable speech-bubble logo of The Student Room, reflecting the peer-to-peer and expert-led support that is central to both sites.

Violet, the colour of creativity, wisdom and knowledge, is complemented by a vibrant and energetic secondary colour palette that brings The Uni Guide and its indispensable online tools, guides and advice to life.

It is just the first step towards creating a seamless connection between The Student Room and The Uni Guide.

Independent and unique

The Student Room relaunched in late 2023 with a transformative brand identity based on months of research, workshops, focus groups and user testing.

At the heart of that rebrand is our distinctive symbol of bold, converging speech bubbles, illustrating how The Student Room brings together multiple conversations and discussions.

As we gear up for the start of a new academic year, the addition of this branding to The Uni Guide modernises and simplifies the experience of using our site, where students can continue to find the highest quality expert advice and guidance.
 

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.

The Uni Guide is part of The Student Room, the UK's largest online student community.
