UK Advising and Tutoring
UKAT, the United Kingdom Advising and Tutoring association, is a body of professional practitioners and researchers interested in all aspects of student advising and personal tutoring in Higher Education in the UK.
UKAT promotes student success by advancing the field of student advising and tutoring in the UK and beyond. We provide opportunities for professional development, networking, and leadership for our diverse membership and work directly with higher education institutions to enhance academic advising and personal tutoring practice.
UKAT is allied to NACADA, the Global Community for Academic Advising.
