Support that knows your university’s conventions
Two students can write the same essay and be marked completely differently. Grade descriptors, the referencing style your school insists on, the platform the dropbox closes on and the week your deadlines land all change from one institution to the next. We have written up 16 UK universities in detail so the support you get is aimed at the criteria your marker is actually holding.
Independent academic support. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to any university named on this page.

Four things that change the moment you change university
None of these are visible in a generic essay-writing template — which is exactly why generic help underperforms.
Referencing is not one style
Leeds publishes Leeds Harvard and Leeds Numeric. Northumbria's librarians wrote Cite Them Right. Health faculties use Vancouver, law schools use OSCOLA. Send us your school's guide and we format to it from the first draft, not at proofreading stage.
Marking scales genuinely differ
Edinburgh grades against a Common Marking Scheme; Glasgow aggregates a 22-point alphanumeric scale; most English institutions mark straight percentages against classification bands. Aiming at the wrong target costs a band.
Submission is a deadline of its own
Turnitin via Moodle, Blackboard, Canvas, Minerva, KEATS or NOW — each with a dropbox that closes at a precise minute. We build the milestone plan backwards from that time, not from the date.
Deadlines cluster in the same weeks
Mid-January, early May and late August are the crush points at almost every institution. Booking two weeks earlier is the cheapest quality improvement available to you.
Can’t see your university?
These 16 pages are the institutions we are asked about most often — but we support students at more than 140 UK universities and colleges, plus international students studying on UK-validated programmes. Send us your university, your module code and your school’s referencing guide and we will match you with an expert who already works to those conventions.
