COBIS Partnership

UK Study Options partners with COBIS to strengthen pathways to UK universities.

We are excited to announce a new strategic partnership between UK Study Options (UKSO) and COBIS, the Council of British International Schools. This collaboration has been designed to give British international schools, their families, and staff access to expert, practical support when it comes to UK university applications and to ensure students achieve the tuition fees they are entitled to.

We are delighted to launch this partnership with UK Study Options. Supporting students, families and staff in our member schools as they navigate UK university options is an important part of our work. This partnership provides access to trusted, expert guidance and practical resources. a tangible benefit that will bring real value to school communities worldwide.

Why this matters

Fee status is one of the most critical yet least understood parts of applying to UK universities. The difference between Home and Overseas fees can amount to tens of thousands of pounds over the course of a degree. By partnering with COBIS, UKSO can now help more families understand their eligibility early, avoid costly mistakes, and maximise their child’s potential.

For schools and counsellors

This partnership provides school leaders and counsellors with access to trusted expertise that directly benefits their communities. With UKSO’s support, schools can offer their families greater clarity and confidence during the university application journey, turning complex rules into clear, actionable advice.

As established Supporting Associates of COBIS, we are thrilled to take our collaboration to the next level. This new partnership allows us to extend specialist support to schools and families across the COBIS network, helping students understand and secure the tuition fees they deserve, and giving staff and counsellors the tools to guide them effectively. Together, we are strengthening pathways into UK higher education and removing barriers that can hold students back.
Kate Raison, Managing Director of UK Study Options

Looking ahead

As long-standing Supporting Associates of COBIS, this partnership is a natural next step in our relationship. Together, we are committed to reducing barriers for students worldwide, strengthening the pathway from British international schools into UK higher education, and helping families save significantly on tuition fees.
