Information for Learners and Teachers

Are you aged 11-19? Thinking about the different options after school or college?

One of the options after finishing post 16 studies is to go on to higher education. The most common higher education providers are universities, higher level study can also be completed at at some local colleges or through a higher or degree apprenticeship.
