HIGHER EDUCATION


Thinking about a degree? 

School leavers with a sufficient number of UCAS points, e.g., those who have completed their A-levels (or equivalents like NVQ Level 3 or Highers in Scotland) can do degree courses in college and university.

Degree courses can be either academic (e.g., philosophy) or vocational (e.g., supply chain) and last 1-4 years. Bachelor degree courses typically take 1-4 years to complete, followed by an optional master’s degree. Students can also take a one-year foundation degree course which is useful to build skills and knowledge before committing to a particular field of study or business.

You might be surprised to find that you don’t always need a degree subject connected to the career you want.

REMEMBER: most employers will ask for at least five grade 9*–4 GCSEs including Maths and English (some may ask for Science as well).
