Higher and degree apprenticeships aren’t just an increasingly popular form of education. We know they’re already playing an essential role in workforce planning.

One of your top resources as a teacher offering higher education (HE) guidance is your student alumni, now at university. So how do you keep in touch with past students and make the most of their experiences?

The next generation want more from their professional lives – so how can employers engage with their values?

More than one in four students who apply through UCAS each year share a disability. Disabled students are entitled to reasonable adjustments to ensure they can access higher education, and they will find a variety of support available.

Students can access a variety of support to manage their mental health and wellbeing in higher education – ranging from help with a specific condition through to ways they can look after their general wellbeing.

Versatile training options – online, face-to-face, or personalised – available at a time and place that suits you. Whether you're familiar with UCAS or brand new to our tools and support, we know how important it is that every teacher and adviser feels confident guiding students through their higher education options. We have a range of training and support to suit you.
