Whatuni helps students research UK courses and universities, compare options, and consider their next steps. It lists over 61,000 courses from hundreds of UK universities and higher education colleges, which users can browse, favourite, and shortlist. The site hosts over 190,000 verified student reviews rating aspects of university experience on a 1–5 star scale; reviews can be submitted using an authorised university email address. Students can order prospectuses at no cost and book open days. Career Matcher uses a questionnaire to suggest career matches and profiles, while the Clearing Hub provides advice, course browsing, acceptance information, and university hotline numbers. A Student Cost of Living Calculator helps users explore costs in UK cities and universities. The app supports course browsing and saving, student chats, prospectus orders, open-day bookings, and filtering favourites. Whatuni uses course information from UCAS and HESA. Partner university listings may be shown as featured results, top picks, or banners. Registration is free, but full functionality requires an account, and users must be at least 13. Personal data may be shared with learning providers a user chooses to contact.
