Are you considering applying to higher education?
If so you’ll need to do some research into:
- the type of course you want to do
- where you can do it.
You’ll have to consider whether you’ll get the entry grades, and if you want to have a ‘gap’ year first.
Most people go to university after Year 13, so you should start your research in Year 12, and go to open days too – ask your college if they’ve got any open day visits planned that you could join.
