Choosing to continue studying after finishing school at 18 is a big decision to make. The days of university with lots of socialising and not much work have well and truly gone - a good degree backed up with work experience is now expected by employers as standard. There is fierce competition for places at top institutions and for graduate jobs so applying for university needs to be a well considered, well researched, well planned move.
Parents are increasingly involved in supporting this research, from going along on open days to being a sounding board when your son or daughter is weighing up different courses or institutions. They should receive good, impartial advice from their school or college but parents having some idea about how the process works and knowing where to find relevant information is useful. Higher Education has changed significantly in the last 10-20 years so up to date information is essential.
The HE Parents' Guide delivers just that. It will give a broad overview of making an application, researching courses and student finance, with quick links to courses, specific information for parents and the scholarships and bursaries offered by institutions.
