Why you need a reference, who to choose as a referee, and how to add it to your application.

All you need to know about student finance for mature students.

Universities and colleges welcome students from a diverse range of backgrounds and experience.

Here, we outline what you need to know if you’re interested in an apprenticeship as a care experienced student.

If a student's parent(s) or carer(s) is serving as a Regular or Reservist in the UK Armed Forces, or has done so in the past, their experience of going to university may be different to their non-Service peers. This guide explains how you can practically support Service children along their journey to higher education.

A carer is anyone who is responsible for providing unpaid care to a family member or friend who could not cope without their support.

We have a wealth of resources to help ease any worries or concerns you may have about the application process.

What are traineeships and school leaver programmes, and how can they help you get an apprenticeship or a job? Find out here.
