Practical Resources for UK Education Agencies

Building a strong student recruitment service requires more than access to university opportunities. Agencies also need the right information, clear processes, and practical guidance to support students effectively.

At SMS Higher Education Group, we support UK education agencies with recruitment-focused resources designed to help agency owners, counsellors and recruitment teams work more effectively across the UK higher education market.

Whether you are developing your recruitment approach, supporting students through their university journey, or looking to strengthen your agency’s capabilities, this section brings together useful resources and guidance.

The following resources may help your team support students and strengthen your recruitment activity:

• UCAS Adviser Resources & Training — guidance and tools for supporting students through the UK university application process.
• Discover Uni — independent information to help students explore and compare UK undergraduate courses.
• Prospects — career and degree guidance to help students understand where different study choices can lead.
• British Council Training — training and development resources for education agents and counsellors.
