About UCA

UCA was founded by Biddy Percival 15 years ago as Elizabeth Percival University Entrance and Careers Advice.  It was established in response to the growing need for improved communication between schools and universities.


With higher education and employment becoming ever more complex, there has been an increase in demand for Elizabeth Percival’s consultancy which has grown to become UCA. We understand that it is hard for pupils and parents to keep up to date with the many changes in higher education and understand the application process, particularly when pupils need to be so focused on their exams.  We guide pupils through the application process and give them a plan of action that is specifically tailored to their needs and aspirations.
