University

Higher education means studying for qualifications such as first degrees, higher national diplomas or foundation degrees, amongst others. Students taking higher education courses are usually aged 18 or over. Useful information about how to apply university can be found if you follow the UCAS link.

We have also provided guides for students who have been accepted and wish to find out further facts about university life and a guide to student finance.
