NEW!
Career and further education advisory service for secondary school students and their parents.

Is your son or daughter struggling to decide what to do after school? Book a BSAW Career Compass consultation today.

The Behavioural Science Career Compass is a personalised, evidence-based, career and further education course decision-support service for secondary school students.

We help TY, 5th and 6th year students gain a better understanding of their strengths, values and motivations and of the hidden biases and influences which shape further education and career choices.

We use these insights to help them identify the options most worth exploring, and make better-informed decisions about what comes next.

Spaces are limited and likely to fill quickly so reserve your slot for the 2026/2027 school year today.
