Frequently asked questions
Is the Course Recommender free?
Yes. The Course Recommender and the Shortlist Optimiser are free - you just create a free account to see your results. No card, no tokens. The Statement Review uses one grading token per run, from the same balance as the essay graders.
I have no idea what to study. Can it still help?
That's exactly who it's for. Describe your interests in plain English - even vaguely - and it finds real UK degree courses that fit, from safe options to ambitious stretches.
Does it work for IB students?
Yes. It's IB-native: enter your predicted total and HL/SL grades directly, not just A-level equivalents. It works for A-levels too.
How many courses does it search?
More than 30,000 UK undergraduate courses across 343 universities and colleges, so it can surface options you'd never think to search for by name.
Do I need my final grades, or are predicted grades enough?
Predicted grades are enough - just enter them alongside your interests. There's no need to wait for results day to start building your list.
How does it decide which courses are safe and which are ambitious?
Where a course lists its requirements, your grades are converted to UCAS tariff points to compare like for like, and over 90% of courses carry those points. That lets it group real matches from safe options to ambitious stretches.
