How Britvia works with families
- We never guarantee admission, scholarships or visas, and we explain the reasons behind every course suggestion.
- Information comes from official sources, with the date we last checked it.
- A parent or guardian can complete forms on behalf of a student under 18, and confirms this when they do.
- Your family's details are only shared with a university when the student asks, and choices can be changed at any time.
