Use the Guardian to attract undergraduate students
With a loyal audience of both university-age readers and the people who help them make their decisions on where and what to study, the Guardian is the ideal platform for your undergraduate courses.
Reaching potential undergraduates with the Guardian...
The Guardian offers a unique audience for your undergraduate courses:
  • 192,000 regular Guardian readers due to finish school or start university in the next 12 months
  • 98% of these don't read any other daily quality newspaper

More 15-24 year olds regularly read the Guardian than any other national daily quality newspaper.
...or with guardian.co.uk
  • 182,000 users of guardian.co.uk are due to finish school or start university in the next 12 months
  • guardian.co.uk is used by more 15-24 year olds than any other national quality newspaper website

Reach influencers - parents
Since the introduction of fees, parents have an increasing input into the choices their children make about where and what to study.

The Guardian can help you reach this key group:
  • 202,000 parents of 16-20 year olds regularly reading the Guardian
  • 96% of these do not read any other national daily quality newspaper
By advertising your advert on guardian.co.uk, you can reach the 491,000 parents of 15-18 year olds who use guardian.co.uk.

That’s more parents of this key age group than you can reach on independent.co.uk or telegraph.co.uk.
Reach influencers - teachers
The Guardian also has a large readership amongst secondary and FE teachers allowing you to reach this other key group of influencers.

What our clients say
SUND-UNI-220
“The Guardian online proved to be very effective for the University of Sunderland throughout our clearing and undergraduate campaigns for 2008. It was particularly pleasing to note that ‘conversions’ to a clear action such as ordering our prospectus or doing an online course search were higher than average from Guardian pages due to the relevance of the Guardian’s strong education brand and its online users. We’ll certainly be using them again in 2009.”
Andy Atkinson, Publications & Advertising Manager, University of Sunderland
