higher education

Higher Education or HE basically means going to University or College to gain a qualification like a degree or foundation degree. There are thousands of courses to choose from. So if you are into sport, music, computers, fashion, art, science or whatever there is a course for you.

Before you go to University you need to decide what kind of course you want to do and how this will help you achieve your career objectives.

Think about the following options as well as part of your decision making process:

Full-time versus part-time
Three or four years
Courses that involve work placements
Colleges that are near/far away from home

Speak to your Connexions Advisor about the opportunities available to you or visit www.aimhigher.gov.uk or www.bbc.co.uk/schools/aimhigher/
