What can uni do for me?
These days, more and more employers are looking for the skills and knowledge you can develop in higher education.
More choice, more money…what’s not to like?
Going into university or college can give you more options in your career - and may mean that you earn more, too.
In fact, over their working life, the average graduate will earn about £100,000 more in today’s money than a similar person with A-levels who’s not been to university.
If you’re wondering what to study, you’re spoilt for choice: there are thousands of courses on offer at universities and colleges across the country - including vocational degrees where you learn the skills you need for a specific job.
You don’t even have to leave home or study full time - with part-time study, you can earn as you learn.
And of course, it’s not just about the studying: going to uni gives you the chance of a lifetime to make new friends, follow new interests - and lead your own life in your own way.
To help make ends meet while you’re there, there’s plenty of financial support on offer.
