Higher Education

R U thinking about going to Uni or College?

If you are then you will need to get your head around some issues.

How do I choose a course I want to follow?

Am I going to go away or stay at home?

What do I want to do when I finish my degree?

How am I going to pay for it?

Will I have enough time to work and study and play?

How do I fill in the forms?



Courses

There are literally thousands of different courses from the traditional ones like chemistry, history, medicine and law to golf course management, furniture design and equine studies.

When you’re looking at the range of courses you will need to think about why you want to do the course.

So where do I look for info?

Well every Uni and college will have it’s own website and offer a prospectus that you can send for but before you do that you will need to look through the UCAS website to see what’s out there. If you're thinking about Oxford or Cambridge Click here for our page

Check out our page on housing or try the National Union Students website

So why did you do this course?

Was it because you had always been good at this subject or did you want to do a job based around this area of study?

If you've done a course like history there are very few jobs for historians but the skills that you will have developed in studying history may well come in useful for a whole range of other careers but you must expect to need training in any career that you choose.

If you chose a more vocational course then you may be able to walk straight in and get on with the job but even here expect to have do some training. It may well be that in certain areas, such as conservation you might even have to work for free, volunteer, for some time until you can get paid employment and even then it may well be on short-term contracts.
