3 Top Tips for Students

  • Research as much as you can about the courses you're interested in and the universities themselves. The more you know, the better you can make an informed decision about what's right for you.

  • Choose something you really enjoy, rather than something you are simply good at. It's important to trust yourself and start a course you are passionate about.

  • When applying, think about core skills you have learnt. Universities are interested in what you have learnt, not just what you know.
