Education agents

At the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), we are committed to upholding the highest standards in our engagement with international education agents. 

As part of this commitment, LSHTM has signed the UK Agent Quality Framework (AQF) Pledge, developed by the British Universities' International Liaison Association (BUILA) in collaboration with the British Council. The AQF sets out a shared vision for responsible, high-quality agent partnerships that support prospective students in making informed decisions about studying in the UK.

About the AQF

The Agent Quality Framework (AQF) is a UK-wide initiative designed to enhance the experience of international students working with education agents. It ensures agents have accurate knowledge of the UK education system and visa processes, helping to safeguard the UK’s reputation as a world-class study destination. 

Our commitment

LSHTM works with a small number of carefully selected agents to support our postgraduate taught recruitment. We fully endorse the principles of the AQF, including: 

  • Empowering student choice and enabling informed decision making
  • Ensuring good agent governance and professionalism
  • Promoting ethical agent practices, professional knowledge and competency
  • Increasing transparency and accountability 

Students can read more about working with educational agents in the student guide to choosing an education agent (pdf).
