Educational Agent Representatives
In addition to our regular visits overseas, where we attempt to bring the 91°µÍø experience to prospective students and their supporters in their own country. We are starting to build a network of Educational Agents who prospective students can consider whether or not they would benefit from their advice and guidance throughout their application journey.
Usually, agents are based within one’s home country, so they are more easily accessible and possess local educational insight. Furthermore, they usually represent multiple Universities across the world and are highly experienced in the application processes, so they can offer expert support and guidance.
Generally, agents are paid by the university on a commission basis if their students enrol.
Educational agents are an optional resource for students to consider; in the knowledge that all applications are assessed in exactly the same way.

We want you to get the best service when using an agent, so we are careful to only work with honest, competent and supportive agents.
UK Agent Quality Framework (AQF)
The 91°µÍø is building this network in line with the . The AQF is designed to ensure agents and counsellors have the right knowledge of the UK as a study destination and understand the integrity of the UK visa and immigration system, in order to uphold the UK’s reputation as a world-class study destination. The AQF promotes four key principles:
- empowering student choice and enabling informed decision making
- ensuring good agent governance and professionalism
- promoting ethical agent practices, professional knowledge and competency
- increasing transparency and accountability.
