UK Advising and Tutoring Information

The UK Advising and Tutoring association (UKAT) is a charitable trust and learned society representing scholars and practitioners of personal tutoring and academic advising in the UK higher education sector. Our mission is to advance effective personal tutoring and academic advising practice within higher education so that every student can experience inclusiveness, wellbeing, and personal growth, leading them to flourish and succeed. We seek to advance the field through our conferences, symposia, workshops, support for original research, peer-reviewed academic publications, accreditation of practice, professional courses, and resources. UKAT membership is open to higher education institutions, individual tutors and advisors, and students. Our diverse membership consists of academics, administrators, students, researchers, professional advisers, counsellors, and others who are committed to enhancing their students’ educational development through high-quality advising and tutoring. Members are drawn from all regions of the UK and beyond and belong to institutions from across the spectrum of higher and further education; they bring to the association a wide range of experience and different perspectives.
