Unifrog
Unifrog is an online platform that supports schools to deliver their statutory duty to provide students with impartial and independent guidance on the full range of post-school options. The platform is particularly helpful because it is the only place students can compare every undergraduate course in the UK as well as international opportunities. Additionally, the Unifrog platform allows students to access Further Education courses and the most comprehensive list of apprenticeships available across the country, including higher, school leaver and degree apprenticeships.
Once students have explored their interests and compared the full range of pathways available to them, Unifrog provides one place for students to draft all materials needed for applications such as CVs or Personal Statements.
All students in Years 9 to 13 have access to this website, in keeping with our commitment to provide students with outstanding careers guidance and tailored support when choosing their next step after school.
Unifrog Login
To log in for the first time, students need to search for the welcome email sent to their school email address and follow the instructions. Students will set-up their own password and then login using their school email address. If students forget their password, they can reset it from the Unifrog login page which they should use to access the website.
