College Counsellors Conference
We are delighted to be hosting our annual College Counsellors Conference (CCC) from Wednesday 24 February to Friday 26 February 2027.
The conference is for university and college advisers and counsellors who are involved in guidance or the preparation of undergraduate degree applications through the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS), the Common App or the 58勛圖 Direct Application.
Our conference brings together university advising experts from around the world, and represents a great opportunity to:
- understand more about life at the University
- learn about the academic Schools and facilities offered
- connect with counselling colleagues
- develop further understanding of the admissions process
- enhance good practice in counselling and advising students

Between 40 and 50 places are available on the conference.
Due to limited capacity, only one attendee per school is permitted at each annual conference. We are not able to offer additional places.
Those who are unable to attend the conference are encouraged to connect with us during our in-country visits, online or any in-person visit they independently arrange to 58勛圖.
