Unifrog is a web-based interactive platform that allows students to research careers, subjects, universities and apprenticeships. The site can be used to:
- Search for a subject and see where it may lead
- Search for a career and find out what they need to study and how to access that career
- Search, filter and rank every degree at every university in the UK and many across Europe and the USA
- Find out what subjects you will need to study and the grades needed to be able to go to university
- Search current apprenticeship vacancies
- Find out how they can complete an online university course now or in the summer
All Sixth Form and Year 11 students will have received a Unifrog email to their school accounts. This will prompt you to create a password and let you log in. It may be necessary to search the junk/spam folder for the initial email. If no email is found, visit unifrog.org/sign-in and click forgotten password. This will send a new email invitation.
Students have access to a wide variety of video and written content, and interactive quizzes and tests, including:

In the Sixth Form, Guiseley School uses Unifrog to record all predicted grades which are then transferred to UCAS when students apply to university. The Sixth Form Team also take subject references (compiled by teachers and tutors) from Unifrog to personalise student university reference on UCAS. We would encourage you to use the platform with your child so you can support them through the process of deciding their next step.
You can also have your own parent Unifrog account. You’ll be able to research careers, attend webinars delivered by employers and universities to learn more about their opportunities, and compare pathways so you can support your child in making an informed decision about their next steps.

You can also sign up to Unifrog’s parent / carer newsletter when you first sign in to get expert advice and guidance on supporting your child with their next steps. Please note this code is only valid for 90 days at which stage it will need to be renewed.
