Applying through an agent
Get help from an approved agent who can provide expert guidance on the application process for students from your home country.
Many international students choose to use an education recruitment representative known as an agent to help them complete their university application. Agents have specialist knowledge to help you through the entire process, including:
- Choosing the course that’s right for you
- Advising on processes and deadlines
- Submitting your application
- Applying for your visa.
Before you start working with an agent, you should make sure they're an approved agent for the University of Liverpool. You should also check if there are any costs associated with using your preferred agent.
Should you have any concerns about the service you receive from any of our approved agents and wish to make a formal complaint, please email agentrep@liverpool.ac.uk.

If you're not currently living in the UK, you may wish to use an agent in your country when you apply to study with us. Many overseas agents offer face-to-face appointments or you may be able to arrange an online appointment if you prefer. If you’re already in the UK or wish to use a UK agent from overseas, this is also an option.

Student guide to choosing an education agent
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.
If you are considering using an education agent, we recommend reading the student 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.
