About Regent Education
Regent Education Services Limited is a UK higher education advisory, established in 2021. We help UK home students, many of them adults who left education years ago, choose a university course, prepare a strong application and enrol. Every student works with one advisor, face to face in Wood Green or Birmingham, or by phone and WhatsApp. Our guidance is free, and this page explains exactly how that works.
Our Story
Regent Education was set up in November 2021 for a group of people the standard university route tends to overlook: adults in London who want a degree but left school without A-Levels, or left education so long ago that they no longer know where to begin.
The questions we hear in a first meeting are rarely about which university ranks highest. They are practical. Can I study around my job? Will they accept my qualifications from twenty years ago? Is a foundation year right for me, or will it add a year I do not need? Who checks my personal statement before I send it? Those are the questions we built the service to answer.
We have two offices: one on the High Road in Wood Green, North London, and one on the Coventry Road in Birmingham. Both are places students can come into and sit down with a person, rather than a chatbot or a call-centre script. Plenty of people would rather go through their certificates across a desk than over email, and we think that matters.
Since 2021 we have supported more than 1,800 students. Our partner courses are mainly in business management, health and social care, and computing, and many are offered as four-year degrees that begin with a foundation year, which suits people who have been away from study for a while.
We work only with UK home students: British and Irish citizens, and residents with settled status, pre-settled status, indefinite leave to remain or refugee status. Keeping to one group means our advisors know its rules, its documents and its common sticking points thoroughly, instead of a little about everything.
Our first rule If a course is not right for you, we will tell you, even when that means you do not apply through us.
Who We Help
Our service is designed for people who are not coming straight from school. These are four situations we work with, and where each one is covered in more depth.
You left education in your teens and have spent years working. Universities count that experience, and anyone aged 21 or over at the start of a course is classed as a mature student. We help you present it properly.
Mature learner pathwaysA-Levels are one route in, not the only one. BTECs, Access to HE Diplomas, NVQs and work experience are all considered, and a degree with an integrated foundation year can bridge the gap.
Foundation year guideYou want to move into management, healthcare, IT or another field that expects a degree. We match your goal to courses that lead there and check the entry requirements before you commit.
Browse courses by subjectYou have made the UK your home and want to study here as a home student. Each university confirms home student status itself, and we explain the documents admissions teams usually ask for.
Domestic student advisoryHow We Work
Every student follows the same clear process. You deal with the same person throughout, so you never have to explain your situation twice.
In person, by phone or on WhatsApp. We talk about your goals, what you have studied before and what your week looks like.
Your advisor suggests a small number of courses and universities that match your background, location and timetable, and explains why each one is there.
We confirm what each university will ask for before you apply, so there are no surprises after you have spent time on an application.
We help you plan and review your personal statement and gather your qualification certificates and identity documents. The application stays in your own words.
If a university invites you to an interview or a written assessment, we tell you what to expect and help you get ready for it.
We stay in touch through offer, enrolment and your first week, and share practical guidance on study skills and academic writing before term begins.
Transparency
Everything in this section can be checked independently. Here are our registered details, what our service covers and what it does not, and how we are paid.
Students never pay us. Regent Education is paid a recruitment fee by the university or college a student enrols with, which is the usual arrangement for education advisors in the UK. We explain this at the first consultation, because it is the fair question to ask of any free service. We work with a range of institutions rather than one, so our recommendations are based on what suits each student, and if nothing on our list is right for you, we will say so.

What We Stand For
The principles behind every consultation, and what we hold ourselves to.
To make a university place reachable for people who were told, or assumed, that their moment had passed. We match each student with an undergraduate, foundation year or postgraduate programme that fits their background and their commitments, and we support them until they have started.
A country where starting a degree at 30, 40 or 50 is ordinary rather than remarkable, and where local students know they can get a straight answer about whether a course is right for them, including when the answer is no.
We recommend what suits you, not what is easiest to place. If a course or a route is wrong for you, we tell you so plainly.
You keep the same advisor from the first conversation to your first week, so nothing is lost between hand-overs.
We tell every student how we are paid, what we can and cannot do, and who makes each decision.
Many people returning to study also work or care for family. We keep meetings focused and fit them around your week, not ours.
