Higher education isn't just another word for university. It’s about furthering your education, learning new things, being in charge of your choices and getting to where you want to be in the future - whatever stage you're at, whatever age you are.
Higher education offers a range of advanced courses and qualifications. You can take a course at a university, higher education college or at some further education colleges. At this level, you will specialise in just one or two subjects.
Although A levels and other academic qualifications are frequently a route into higher education, they’re not the only way. Work-related qualifications and work experience can also provide a good starting point.
With more than 50,000 courses available, in academic and work-related subjects, there’s bound to be one to suit you.
