Getting a place...

There are many routes into doing a degree, HND or foundation degree including BTECs, A levels and Advanced Apprenticeships.

You'll need to check the entry requirements for the course you’re interested in before making an application (for example, what A level grades do they require?). There are application deadlines that you'll need to stick to although sometimes, late applications are accepted.

For some places, you'll need to have an interview, and for others there may be further tests. For courses such as art and design, medicine, veterinary medicine and law, the application process is different.

For more information on applying for higher education ask for a copy of our Decisions, Decisions pack. These are sent to sixth-forms and colleges in September – ask your Connexions Personal Adviser, librarian or careers teacher for a copy of this publication.
