Universities
Boarding schools in the British Isles are home to thousands of international students from around the world with globally-minded families.
This sector is ripe for international universities looking to diversify their student populations.
As a former boarding school teacher and now working with students and counsellors at schools across the UK, founder David Hawkins is deeply embedded in this sector.
The University Guys run a number of small-group recruitment tours to UK boarding schools each year as well as more targeted events to particular locations or for university consortia.
We can also provide bespoke itineraries targeting particular regions or schools based on your institution’s needs and profile.


British Isles school tours for international universities
Several times a year, The University Guys take non-UK universities on tour to visit selected international secondary schools and boarding schools. Tours are grouped according to regions such as:
- Channel Islands
- Ireland
- Scotland
- Great Western
- Heart of England
- Southwest England
- Wales and the Borders
What to expect
Tours take place over 3 to 5 days and you’ll visit 2 or 3 schools each day.
The University Guys will provide ground transportation to each venue, accommodation, most meals and evening networking opportunities. We can also assist with the delivery of your presentation materials to each school.
