UK Essays Press Coverage

The Academic Answers Limited group, which UK Essays is proud to be part of, has received a considerable amount of press attention since it was launched in April 2003.

Not only has this supported our guarantees that our 2.1 and 1st class standards meet those which you order, but also it has demonstrated that we are a genuine UK company who strives to help students and provide a useful service to boost our customers' grades.

"UKEssays.com has been featured in numerous press stories"

The quality of our service is well documented - not only has the Owner spoken at length about the Company on BBC radio and television, but in addition, we have been featured in countless newspapers -- both national and regional.

We should point out at this stage that the newspapers below are in no way affiliated with our company; nor do they give any personal endorsement of our service. Having said that, we think you'll find that we don't need them to. The newspapers serve a purpose - they show that we are genuine UK based company and that our essays and dissertations meet the quality standards that we publish.

Featured Article - The Sunday Times Newspaper

"In 2003 the Sunday Times bought an essay (undercover!) and reported how the essay was confirmed to be of a 2:1 standard by a top lecturer they had selected!"

Featured Article - BBC News Website

The BBC reported in 2008 how we were now that good that - "parents are helping their children buy custom essays from us!".

Featured Article - Manchester University Student Newspaper

In 2008 The University of Manchester brought an essay from us - "This is a good essay and worth a high First - 75 percent!".

Featured Article - ITN News

In 2006 the ITN main headline was about our company and they praised our work - "The essay was good... too good!".

About the Press Articles

You will appreciate that there are many organisations that disapprove of our service, since they are adamant that all students are dishonest and will use us to cheat. This is, unfortunately, reflected in the comprehensive collection of articles we have presented below.

We have reproduced them, regardless of the criticism they contain, as an aid for potential customers to appreciate the authenticity of our business; we believe this is extremely important as there are so many bogus essay and dissertation sites on the web.

However, please be aware that there is a proper use for our service - although written as custom research pieces for you, our essays should be used as a basis for producing your own work. Just as you would not reproduce a book or journal which happens to exactly address your question, you should not hand in our essays as your own. We stress this time and time again but it is a point that the press fail to appreciate - we do not condone plagiarism. For further information about this please read our fair use policy.
