A Complete University Application Guide: More Offers, Less Stress

We collaborated with the Mental Health Foundation to produce a complete guide to university applications. We help you clearly understand each part of the process, reduce study related anxieties, increase your chances of getting offers, and ultimately give you more time to focus on the most important thing: your well-being!

If you know what you’re looking for already, browse our 8 chapters below. We’ve found the cheapest and most expensive university cities, compiled 8 ways to make your application stand out from the crowd, and a written comprehensive breakdown of everything to consider for those of you who may apply to study abroad.

We know how much you’ll have on your plate when applying for university - so below each chapter, you’ll find a stress busting tip to help you manage each part of the process.

Should you have any questions on the university application process, feel free to get in touch to editor@tutora.co.uk, or if you feel stress getting on top of you, give the Samaritans a call on 116 123.
