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.

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.
