We know that myths and misconceptions about university can leave students feeling uncertain about their choices. That’s why we’ve teamed up with University Alliance on the #UniMythsBusted campaign – a practical, myth-busting series designed to give you the tools to support your students with clarity and confidence. From employer insights and expert advice to real student experiences, we aim to help you guide students through the noise and focus on what matters for their futures.
