10 Best Academic Planners UK 2023 | Clever Fox, Acorbis and More

This planner by Clever Fox comes in at number 1 - we love the premium feel of it, the wide range of lovely colour options, and the superb paper quality. In addition to 12 months' worth of undated pages, it has dedicated sections for habit tracking and to-do lists.

The emphasis on your long-term life goals is probably our favourite thing about this planner and according to the hundreds of 5-star reviews on Amazon, it's something that a lot of people find useful. If you're unsure where to start, there's also a handy "how to use" guide to help you make the most of your purchase. To put it simply, this product delivers pretty much everything you could ever want from a planner!

This is planner has a luxurious feel, with its soft touch cover and premium quality paper. The days of the week in the weekly spreads are left blank, giving you the freedom to fill them out however you'd like - which is always a bonus if you like to customise your diary! It also has 50 dotted notes pages, providing ample space to write everything down that's on your mind.

Each page of this planner is logically laid out, and it includes brightly coloured stickers that you can use as a visual reminder for key dates. We reckon this product will appeal to organisation newbies and planning pros alike!

This planner is designed to help you succeed in every aspect of your life. You can input your work deadlines, plan the week's meals, write a shopping list, and know whose birthdays are coming up next month - pretty amazing, right? It's also spiral-bound, meaning it'll stay flat on your desk and won't unexpectedly close itself. 

We think the design of this product is really attractive and fun, and it'll last for 18 whole months before it needs replacing. It's also lightweight and just the right size for popping into your bag. All this for such a reasonable price! 

This planner is a fantastic option if you want something that you can keep using year after year - simply buy some Rocket refills and you're good to go again! It comes with daily and weekly layouts included, plus some refill options also come with pages that show the month at a glance.

The binder is robust enough to last you a long time and the paper is really high quality, feeling much more expensive than its price tag would suggest. Rocket also provides info about how project plans and habit trackers can benefit you. So this planner not only keeps you organised, but actually teaches you how to work smarter, not harder!

This planner goes above and beyond when it comes to extra features! It has an impressive four storage pockets and tear-out reminder lists to help you keep on track. The stickers included can be used to create visual cues for important dates, and the mini calendar on each page allows for advance planning. 

The faux leather softback cover means that this planner might not hold up as well as a hardback diary when in your bag or out and about, but all of the extras make it worth buying anyway.

Moleskine is an extremely popular brand amongst professionals, known for its stylish and robust stationery. Made from top-quality thick paper, this 18-month planner boasts a hardcover and an elastic strap closure to keep it closed when not in use. It's a decent size too, being compact enough to carry around but still providing plenty of space to make notes.

Again, this is most definitely a planner to keep you on track with your work, as it doesn't have room for info about your personal life. If you want a planner with additional sections to track habits or write down your aims, this may not be the best option for you. 

This planner has some great features to help you stay on top of your work - and we love the eyecatching lemon print design too! Sections like the class schedule pages will help you keep track of where you need to be at a certain time. Plus, the weekly page layouts have lots of space for noting down all of your important deadlines as well as your weekend plans.

As this planner is designed for academic use, it lacks space to jot down personal details like your goals or reflections, which can be found in other products on our list. Still, if you want something straightforward and fuss-free, you can't go wrong with this one!

This is a really high-quality planner - it comes in a lovely box, wrapped in tissue paper, and includes cute stickers to help you make notes or highlight important dates. It's undated, so you can start using it whenever you want, and it lasts for a whole year but isn't bulky at all. 

Unlike most of the other planners on our list, this one lacks a pocket and a pen loop. While these aren't essential features, we think they'd be useful additions that would enhance an already brilliant product.

While this may seem like more of a personal planner than an academic one, there are lots of useful features that will benefit your studying too. The review sections are handy if you like to take time to reflect on the past week in order to plan for the next one. There are also sections dedicated to finances, travel, and birthdays, which will help you to stay organised so you can focus fully on your studies. 

Unfortunately, this planner is let down by the paper quality which isn't good enough to prevent ink from bleeding through to the next page. Plus, the layout is quite structured and doesn't leave any room for personalisation.

The Priori Agenda Planner contains three different layouts, meaning that you can keep track of absolutely everything - from work deadlines to holidays and birthdays. The three bookmarks in different colours allow you to flick between pages really easily and the two pockets are ideal for storing any important loose documents safely in one place. 

Whilst there's room for lots of information in this planner, the pages already have pre-printed sections for you to fill in such as to-do lists, weekly goals, and hourly task slots. The controlled layout may work for some but it may not be flexible enough for others, as there's no way of adapting and personalising it.
