Agent policy and good practice tools

UK Agent Quality Framework Logo

Westminster has a well-established Agent Policy regarding the selection and management of our education agent network:

We work closely with the British Council and BUILA (British Universities International Liaison Association) to ensure that we and our partners follow key good practice guidance and adhere to the National Code of Ethical Practice for UK Education Agents to maintain quality partnerships.

We support our agents to access a free British Council training and engagement hub.

We have been working in partnership with education agents for over 20 years. We endeavour, at all times, to work together with our appointed agents to provide high-quality customer service, ensuring accurate and professional advice is provided to all stakeholders. If for any reason, these high standards are not met, then either party may seek to terminate the partnership.

All applications received, whether via an appointed agent or a non-appointed agent, will be subject to our standard admissions policies. The applications sent via a non-appointed agent will be treated as a direct application and will not be eligible for commission.

Please note that we are not seeking to expand our existing agent network and are unable to take forward any new proposals at this time.
