Price

£12.99

Choosing the right course and university is a major milestone — and parents play a key role in helping teens make confident, informed decisions. The Parents’ Guide to University gives you clear, practical support through every stage: exploring courses, visiting open days, comparing choices, navigating UCAS, results day and preparing for life away from home.

 

It’s everything you need to feel informed and ready to support your teen through one of the biggest decisions they’ll make.

What's included:

Everything you need to know for the whole university journey:

  • The different types of universities — and how to decide what’s right for your teen

  • Course styles, teaching approaches and how they suit different learners

  • How to get the most out of open days (in person or virtual)

  • League tables — what they show, what they don’t, and how to use them wisely

  • Tuition and maintenance loans, including what parents need to know

  • UCAS deadlines, personal statements and how to support without taking over

  • What happens on results day — and the practical steps if things don’t go to plan

  • Alternatives if university isn’t the right fit

  • Preparing your teen for university life and supporting them once they’ve moved away
