Higher education (HE) is provided by Universities and other collegial institutions and offers a vast range of qualifications including Certificates of Higher Education, Foundation and undergraduate degrees, as well as postgraduate awards such as PGCEs, Masters degrees and Doctorates.
Although most people enter higher education at 18, this isn't always the case. There are many full-time and part-time mature students, many of whom applied without 'traditional' formal entry qualifications, such as A levels. There are a wide variety of higher education courses, along with a range of different methods of study to suit students' existing commitments.
In this section, we take a look at some of the reasons you might decide to embark on an HE course along with the qualifications you might need. There's also some handy advice on choosing you course and institution, along with a step-by step guide on how to apply.
For those of you who are unable to consider a full-time course due to family or work commitments, why not take a look at some of the flexible study options offered by many colleges and universities? These can enable students to enrol and study for courses either part-time or online, making HE truly available to everyone.
