What you need to know
There are many different types of higher education (HE) course, and different methods of study to suit your existing commitments.
If you go on to higher education, you could be more employable than people without a higher education qualification, and you might earn more money.
What you can do
- Don't rule out higher education because you don't have A levels, there are ways into HE without these qualifications
- You may have to do a pre-requisite course, but in many cases this will count towards your HE qualification if you go on to do it
- How do you want to study? Consider whether you want to study full-time on a campus or whether learning from home or learning part-time would suit you better
- Think about what you want to get from your course - is it a specialist course that leads to a specific career or something more general because you like learning about that subject matter?
