Note
- Through CONNECT-ME, Manchester Exam can advise, recommend, and direct users to partner websites. However, the final admission decision rests solely with the applying institution, based on the candidate's credentials and other criteria they must meet.
- U-apply.com is a globally respected educational consultancy that expertly assesses and supports international candidates in their school applications. However, candidates also have the option to apply directly to schools if they prefer.
- Manchester Exam is not affiliated with u-apply.com, holds no stakes or shares in it, nor is it connected with any other agents. Our primary goal is to directly link candidates with our partner institutions. However, for those seeking a trusted third party, we endorse U-apply.com, having rigorously verified its credentials.
