An Educator's Guide to University Applications

Supporting Students with their Post-18 Options

About this book

Guiding students through their university applications can be a fulfilling but daunting task.

How do you know you are successfully empowering your students to make informed decisions that could potentially alter the course of their lives? Where do you go for training and advice? What does a successful programme look like, and how can you improve what you already do?

This groundbreaking, practical guide is the first dedicated teacher manual for developing, structuring and improving your approach to post-18 choices. Drawing on years of experience working with students, it provides all the tools needed to hit the ground running.

Taking you step-by-step through the application process from an educator's perspective, it offers practical advice and real-world examples on:

  • Advising students when writing their UCAS personal statements;
  • Writing university references;
  • Application systems for UK, US and international universities;
  • The role of AI in university applications;
  • Solutions to fit whatever the size, staff experience or financial constraints you're working with.

Packed with guidance that can be implemented immediately, this book is a blueprint for improving successful outcomes for your students.
