Helping you on your journey to University
You are either dead set on uni as your next steps or considering it last minute, either way, it can be a time when thoughts drive you into research mode with all the questions you have.
Advice for students
We teamed up with UCAS and first-generation students from across the UK to create a guide packed with the things we wish we’d known when applying to university. From UCAS application tips, money advice, finding mentors and the support available at universities - this guide is full of useful links and honest insights to help you navigate the next chapter. Explore the FirstGens X UCAS guide. Video content loading - coming summer 2025.
What our students say
“FirstGens exposed me to corporates. Access to the community led me to scholarships I never knew existed. I now work in a top 5 magic circle law firm. Most importantly, FirstGens has taught me to be resilient and proud of my background and experiences.”

“I came across FirstGens by accident yet immediately felt a strong sense of community, support and like-mindedness. With the extraordinary insight provided by FirstGens, I was able to join the right opportunities. ”

“I didn’t have a professional network at the time and decided to put the advice and guidance to the test. Shortly after, the practical advice resulted in making connections with a Circuit Judge, a Senior Civil Servant and a young professional with a shared background with me. Since this, I have been exposed to numerous opportunities and insights that have been useful to help me navigate university and my career options.”
