The BSc (Hons) in Business Management course is perfect if you want to gain a broad understanding of the way organisations work. Not just considering individual business functions as “silos” but seeing they are interdependent. You should consider this course if you’re thinking about a career as a consultant or corporate trouble-shooter.

You’ll gain a thorough understanding of the academic theory that exists around management. But that’s just the start. You will also learn to apply the theory to the actual business of running an organisation.


Our accredited, qualifying Law degree provides you with essential legal and academic skills. Study the core subjects common to all law degrees and supplement them with a wide choice of specialist elective modules. Develop your commercial awareness and confidence with pro bono clinics, volunteering and mooting opportunities.

This degree provides the first stage of professional training for aspiring barristers and solicitors, laying the foundations for a rewarding legal career. It is also suitable for anyone who wants to develop in-demand transferable skills such as critical thinking, commercial awareness, reasoning and research.


Our three-year BPS-accredited psychology bachelor degree explores the complex interactions between the human mind, brain, behaviour and experience. You will develop analytical and critical thinking, as well as desirable research skills and data literacy. Study alongside internationally recognised researchers and active practitioners in the sector.


This degree is for students who want to explore contemporary global issues and politics. You will deepen your understanding of the rapid social and political changes affecting the world. You will also develop strong analytical skills through our thought-provoking, forward-thinking curriculum.


This BA (Hons) degree is designed for students pursuing a career in journalism, media and communications and beyond. You will receive professional training and proficiency in print, broadcast and online journalism. Enhance your expertise with elective modules in humanities, such as politics and the history of journalism.


If you are interested in how software technologies are built and work, our Computer Science degree is ideal. You’ll learn about programming languages, coding and solving computational problems. Your practical expertise can lead to careers in development and architecture for software, systems and mobile apps.

Christine A Kelly, College Counselor

I've worked with Gary and Lydia for several years, and have found their knowledge, and expertise invaluable as I navigate the international university admission process from the USA.  I admire their sincere drive to help students find and enter the university of their choice and appreciate their consistent availability to provide that expertise in a friendly, easy to understand manner.  I'm very excited about this website!

Joanna C. Tudge, University Counselor

I have had the pleasure of working with Gary and Lydia for over ten years and they have been a tremendous resource for myself and our students and families who are interested in applying to the UK.  Not only have they been amazing advocates for their own institutions, but they have a broad and detailed knowledge of universities and programmes across the UK and have frequently shared their network of contacts with me to help students find the perfect fit.  I cannot praise them enough.

Jamie M Rueger, College Counselor

I have not only had the opportunity to work with Gary and Lydia, but also have been able to meet them personally. They are very knowledgeable and helpful in guiding students, parents and counselors through the process of applying through UCAS. I knew next to nothing about directing students through this process and their expertise has been invaluable to me.

Letitia Peterson, Director of College Counselling

As a college counselor in the U.S., I often need some details about the UCAS process for my students who are applying to universities in the UK. Lydia and Gary are very well-informed and responsive if I have any questions or need direction to the appropriate resources. Their combined years of experience with applicants from the U.S. is important, since many families here are unfamiliar with UCAS.  On a personal level, it is a pleasure to work with both of them, and I highly recommend their services.

Claire Shepro, College Counselor

Gary and Lydia have been a great resource for both me and my students. They are extremely knowledgeable not only about UK admissions, but about how to "translate" the process so it makes sense to American applicants! My students who have worked with them have really appreciated the time and care they have taken to respond to their inquiries.

Sherrie Tasnady, Guidance Counselor

Both Gary and Lydia understand the questions that international students have and are able to balance their knowledge with the human touch. Their experience of hosting college counselors in the UK make them brilliant guides through the university search and application process and they have the unique ability to look beyond the buildings and programs of study to bring to life the many dimensions of university life.  This site will provide all you need to navigate the promising world of the UK educational landscape. 

Danny Reynolds, Associate Head for External Relations

I have worked with Gary and Lydia for several years assisting our families in Miami to understand the application process to U.K. universities. Applying via UCAS is so different than applying via the Common Application, especially with the difference in writing the personal statement, but their guidance has alleviated the stressful application process for my students. Anything I was unsure about as a counselor, a quick email to Gary or Lydia would answer my questions. Their guidance has helped me feel more confident about recommending UK universities to my students. Our applications to the U.K. have increased each year.

Tiffani Hooper - Co-Director of College Counseling

Gary and Lydia have years of experience explaining the U.K. university and application system to American students. They are informative, relatable, and an invaluable resource to students applying to universities in U.K. I value them as colleagues and respect their professional expertise.
