Preparing for the Russell Group

Studying at a Russell Group university can give your pupils a great education and experience, as well as a real boost to their career. They will be studying on a diverse campus, and Russell Group universities work hard to create the ideal learning environment for students to flourish. Students have access to world-class facilities and staff to support them in their studies.

However, applying to university can be a bit overwhelming, particularly if you’re the first in your family to attend, and so the Russell Group’s 24 members created Advancing Access, a set of free online resources to provide advice and guidance for teachers and careers advisors on how to support pupils through the process of applying to university. The resources – which include factsheets, webinars and guidebooks – are particularly targeted towards schools where students are less likely to apply.
