The Hotcourses Group was the public name for Hotcourses Ltd, an educational guidance company based in Fulham and the world's largest course database.[1][2]

In January 2017, Hotcourses Group was bought by IDP Education[3][4] and was rebranded as IDP Hotcourses[5] in January 2019.[6][7]

History

Hotcourses Ltd was founded in 1996 by Jeremy Hunt and Mike Elms.[8] Initially, the company focused on listing courses in the United Kingdom, providing information on further and higher education options. Over time, it expanded its reach internationally, offering services in multiple countries, including the United States, Australia, and Asia.

In 2013 changes to Hotcourses' articles of association were filed at Companies House three years late.[9]

In January 2017, IDP Education, an Australian international education organisation, acquired Hotcourses Group for £30 million. Following the acquisition, the Hotcourses Group was renamed as IDP Hotcourses.[10]

As part of its activities, Hotcourses Group also supported The Hotcourses Foundation, established in 2004, which collaborated with Nyumbani UK to provide educational resources for children in Kenya.[11]

IDP Hotcourses

IDP Hotcourses is an online higher education information platform, focused on international students. Part of IDP Education, it provides course details from universities around the world, and advice on studying abroad. IDP Hotcourses has its roots in the Hotcourses Group.[12] Under its Hotcourses brand, the company provided information about higher education and recreational courses, with a website launching in 2000.[13]

Subsequently, Hotcourses expanded into international education. Its flagship study abroad research website, Hotcourses Abroad, launched in 2008.[14] This was followed by several other sites, each serving audiences in different parts of the world.

In 2017, the Hotcourses Group was sold to IDP Education.[15][16] The company changed its name to IDP Connect in 2019,[17] before coming under the IDP Education brand in 2024.[18] At the same time, the Hotcourses websites were renamed IDP Hotcourses.

IDP Hotcourses offers course information from more than 2,700 higher education institutions worldwide.[19] Most of these are universities and colleges in the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Ireland. Students can contact institutions through the platform for more details, with a view to applying for a course.

In addition, IDP Hotcourses features details of scholarships offered by institutions, and articles with advice and information on various aspects of studying abroad.
