University agent representatives
Choosing to study in the UK, whether with us or somewhere else, is one of the most important decisions you can make. To support with this decision, some students consider using the services of an education agent when applying to us. Education agents provide a range of services to support you - from identifying the right university and course to guiding you through the application and enrolment process. They can also assist with visa applications, travel, and accommodation arrangements.
Education agents cannot make offers of a place on a programme at the University of Exeter; all decisions on applications are made by the university. If you enrol with us, we pay the education agent a commission/fee.
The University of Exeter has entered into a commercial arrangement with the following education agents, who are our official representatives. You can find a list of each of the education agents with which the University has entered into a commercial arrangement to officially represent us by searching for your country using our Find Your Country tool. There is also a list of official agents who operate globally and online below.

Further information for those considering using an education agent
If you are considering using an education agent, we recommend reading the student and parent guide to choosing an education agent, — an important part of the UK Agent Quality Framework (AQF).
The guide provides you and your family with clear information and guidance on what you should look for when considering using an agent. It includes key questions to ask, signs of quality, and how to avoid poor practices. The guide also links to ‘The national code of ethical practice for UK education agents’ and the British Council’s UK database of certified counsellors.
