Why university?

They expand their skills, knowledge, networks and job prospects. Their time at university will shape their future and open doors to new opportunities. And that's not all...

• Graduates are more likely to get a job than non-graduates.
• University can lead to a more rewarding or better paid job.
• For some professions, like law or medicine, it's essential to have a relevant degree.
• Graduates are well equipped to take their place in the world of work or go on to further study and research.
• And they tend to earn substantially more than people with A levels who didn't go to university - around £100,000 over the course of a lifetime.
• Many employers are seeking graduates with an academic qualification and a range of transferrable skills applicable to any profession, so after further education your child has a better chance of securing a job.

Higher education is an investment in the future.
