• Don't Stop Doing What You Love (pre-16 students)

  You're probably just preparing for GCSEs and certainly haven't got the rest of your life all mapped out – but it's never too early to start thinking about what's ahead for you. This booklet could help. We start with a quiz to help you choose your career and tell you why going on to college or uni will increase your chances of getting it. We put a stop to some of the myths that you might have heard about higher education, then ask a student to reveal what uni life is really like. You'll be surprised!). Finally, we talk about how you can carry on studying what you love – and have loads of fun doing it. Just ask the four students we interview, who got the qualifications they wanted and went on to do amazing things.

• Help Your Child Into Higher Education (parents)

  So what exactly is Higher Education (HE)? It is a chance for your child to continue their studies and open the door to all kinds of jobs and opportunities, gaining the skills and knowledge that many employers want.
  Today, there is much more to HE than ever before. There is a wide range of different courses available at hundreds of institutions – in fact, over 50,000 courses at more than 500 colleges and universities.

• Make Your Dreams A Reality (returners)

  Whoever you are, and whatever stage you are at in life, taking a higher education course could help you get where you want to be.

• Your Future, Your Choice (16-plus students)

  What's next for me?
  You need to decide what your next step is, and whether higher education (HE) fits into your plans. Maybe you would like to go on to university or college, but think that it's not really an option for you. Maybe you're in the sixth form at school or at college. Perhaps you've already done your Advance level – or equivalent courses – and have taken a break from studying for a year or so. Either way, you're at an important stage in your life.
