Our application service is free. Assisted Application and Premium Admissions are optional services for students who want additional personalised support.
Free to apply does not mean free tuition. UK universities charge their own tuition fees, which you pay to the university directly — those are never included in the free application, or in either paid service.

No. Applying to study in the UK through StudyUKToday is always free.
The free “I need guidance” option gets you help by email, when our team is available. Assisted Application gives you two defined checkpoints instead: a one-to-one consultation on choosing your university and course, and a review of your application and documents before they are submitted.
Three checkpoints instead of two, at three key steps — including help understanding what your CAS means and what happens next after you receive it.
No. What is free is our service in helping you apply. UK universities charge their own tuition fees, which you pay to the university directly — tuition is not included in the free application, and not in Assisted or Premium either. You will also need to cover your living costs, and the UK government charges separate visa and healthcare fees.
Your payment is confirmed by Stripe, your support record is created, and your confirmation is emailed to the address you paid with. Your Student Portal and Application Portfolio open straight away. We then ask for two details — your full name and your phone or WhatsApp number — unless you have already applied and we have them. Your documents are uploaded later, through your application or Student Portal. See what happens after you pay for the full sequence.
A member of the StudyUKToday admissions team, personally — your checkpoints are delivered by a person, not by software. We do not assign a dedicated named advisor to each student. Email is our primary contact method; you can also message us on WhatsApp and we will reply during working hours. Please keep documents in your Student Portal rather than sending them by WhatsApp.
No. No payment can guarantee admission, a CAS, or a visa. These services give you more time and support — the outcome always depends on the university and, for visas, UKVI.
No. Neither service includes scholarship funding, scholarship searching, or help with a scholarship application, and paying does not give you access to one. Scholarships are offered by universities and other organisations, with their own eligibility rules — check theirs directly.
Yes.
No. Both services are a single, one-time payment.
Yes, within 14 days — see our Refund Policy for exactly how this works.
No. You can message us on WhatsApp whether you pay or not, and we reply during working hours — it is a conversation with a person, not an automated or ticketed support system, and we do not promise a response time on it. Email remains our primary contact method. Please do not send documents by WhatsApp; they belong in your Student Portal, where they are stored securely and you can see what we have received.
