What exactly is a UCAS expert?
All of our UCAS experts have many years experience advising students on university application within an academic institution as a full time teacher.
For example, one StudyZones UCAS expert was Head of Economics and Politics at Tonbridge School (one of the leading boys' boarding schools in the country and is highly respected internationally) between 1981 and 2001, as well as Head of Sixth Form. In the latter capacity he was responsible for the administration of applications to university through UCAS, and has advised generations of students on course and university choices, on the completion of their application forms, on their gap year plans, and on their preparation for interviews, including those at Oxford and Cambridge colleges.
