Become a Uni Insider – Applications Temporarily Paused
Thank you for your interest in joining our community! To ensure we provide the best experience for our current Uni Insiders and students, we have temporarily paused new applications.
We will officially reopen applications in Summer 2026. We look forward to seeing your application then and having you help shape the future of our students.
Become a Uni Insider
Share your experience.
Shape someone's future.
You remember what it felt like to choose a university. The uncertainty, the questions nobody could really answer. As a Uni Insider, you give students the honest conversation you wish you'd had. If students book sessions with you, you'll be paid for your time.

A short 45-minute online course — free — designed to help you give students the most useful, honest insight.

Why become a Uni Insider
It's not a job. It's something better.
Make a real difference
52% of graduates regret their degree choice. One honest conversation with you could change that for someone.
Fits around your life
Sessions are 30 minutes. You set your own availability. No fixed hours, no commitment beyond what suits you.

If students book a session with you, you earn £12 per completed session. Your knowledge and lived experience are worth something — we think that should be recognised.
Join 300+ Uni Insiders
You'll be part of a community of students and graduates from universities across the UK who are already doing it.
Before you apply
Common questions
?Why can't I complete the form?
If the form isn't loading or submitting, try a different browser — Chrome and Firefox work best. Safari can cause occasional issues. Make sure you have all your documents ready before you begin: proof of enrolment or your degree certificate, a profile photo, and your ID.
?Do I qualify?
You need to be a current UK university student or a graduate within the last five years (or still working in your field of study). You must have the right to work in the UK as a self-employed individual and use a Gmail address for Google Meet sessions.
?What if my application isn't successful?
We can't accept every applicant. We may already have strong coverage in your subject area, or your application may not meet our requirements at this time. It isn't a reflection of your ability — we're simply building a balanced, high-quality platform. We'll let you know either way within 14 days.
?How are my documents handled?
All documents are stored securely and used only for identity and eligibility verification. We handle your data in accordance with UK GDPR and our Privacy Policy. Documents are reviewed by our team and are never shared with third parties.
Your information is safe with us. All documents you upload are encrypted, stored securely, and used solely to verify your identity and eligibility. We comply with UK GDPR and will never sell or share your personal data. You can request deletion of your data at any time by contacting hello@alreadydoingit.co.uk.
