The UniTasterDays Teachers' Guide to University 2026

Essential higher education insights for school and college staff, with contributions from over 80 expert practitioners.

The Teachers’ Guide to University 2026 will help you support your students to make an informed choice about university. It includes articles to guide them in deciding whether university is right for them, what they should study, and where they should study it. Although titled Teachers’, the guide is equally valuable for careers advisers, support staff, and senior leaders.

Contributions have been provided by over 80 university representatives from across the UK, along with expert voices from outside the sector, such as educator and TV personality Baasit Siddiqui. The guide is supported by HELOA, a membership group for university advisers.
