FAQs

BridgeU is a technology platform specifically designed to be used by international schools. BridgeU enables students to explore international universities and empowers them to make more informed decisions.

BridgeU is built for school staff and students alike. This means that counsellors and teachers are in a better position to offer a holistic, end-to-end guidance curriculum that successfully steers students from initial career exploration to final university application. 

As well as giving students the opportunity to explore nearly 26,000 universities and courses worldwide, our Customer Success team and team of expert writers have created exclusive content and classroom resources to help your students make the most informed and objective decisions about their future. 

BridgeU’s analytics tool also enables counsellors and school leadership teams to build a more data-driven approach to careers and universities guidance, making it easier for you to showcase your school’s results to parents and prospective students’ families.

Yes of course!  When you start with BridgeU, we will give you the ability to assign user accounts and user privileges to other teachers and staff members, ensuring you can use BridgeU to  coordinate university and careers guidance across your whole school.

Parents can be given access to BridgeU and this enables them to explore university options with your students. However, we will only provide access for parents at your school if requested to do so by you or your staff.

The most popular time to begin using BridgeU is from the age of 14. In younger years, students can use BridgeU to understand their personal strengths and help them decide which subjects will help them embark on their preferred career path. In their final two years of school, students can use BridgeU to start researching university destinations and preparing their applications.
