Press and media enquiries
If you are a reporter, producer or fact-checker working on a story about UK student or graduate life, you can reach a real person here. UniSorted is run by a small team of named editors, and each one owns a single part of the beat. Email hello@unisorted.co.uk with what you are chasing and your deadline, and we will put you with the right editor or come back with sourced numbers.
We are independent and based in the UK. We take no payment for coverage and run no sponsored comment, and every figure we publish is checked against a primary source such as gov.uk, Student Finance England or the relevant awarding body on the day it goes live. If you want to quote us, we can give you a named editor, a short written comment, or a quick check on a stat you found somewhere else.
Who covers what
Each editor writes and answers questions on their own patch. Pick whoever fits the story.
Jamie Hartwell, Student money
Day-to-day student finance: maintenance loans, budgeting term by term, student bank accounts and overdrafts, part-time work, and the practical business of making a loan last to the end of term.
Marcus Reid, Graduate money
The money side of leaving university. First payslips and tax codes, how student loan repayment really works once you are earning, workplace pensions and auto-enrolment, and the jump from a loan to a salary.
Priya Sharma, Graduate careers
The graduate job market: application volumes, assessment centres, what employers actually screen for, starting salaries by sector, and which entry-level routes are genuinely growing rather than just hiring loud.
Sophie Chen, University applications
Getting in. The application cycle and its timelines, personal statements, admissions tests and interviews, and how Clearing plays out in practice on results day.
Tom Okafor, Housing
Student renting from the tenant's side: viewing a place, tenancy contracts and joint liability, deposits and the protection schemes, guarantors, and the things worth checking before anyone signs.
Alex Sheridan, Student life
Life on and around campus. Wellbeing and support services, study habits that hold up under pressure, and the parts of first year a prospectus tends to skip.
Ella Woodward, Deals and discounts
Student saving done honestly: which discounts are worth the sign-up, how to tell a real student deal from a badged-up one, and where the catches usually sit.
Megan Ellis, Preparing for university
The run-up to first year. Results day, what to sort before the move, and the odd gap between holding an offer and turning up for freshers.
Data and numbers you can cite
Two of our pages are built as living data references, with sources shown and a date on every figure. You are welcome to cite them, and we can walk you through the method or pull a specific number for you.
- State of UK Graduate Jobs 2026: application-per-hire ratios, sector hiring, and where the entry-level market is moving, with each stat sourced.
- Student Rent vs Maintenance Loan 2026: what the loan covers set against real rents, region by region.
