  • Many Students Choose to Go to a Local 6Th Form Or College but There Are Other Choices Too, Like Studying at a College Or a Trai
    Many students choose to go to a local 6th form or college but there are other choices too, like studying at a college or a training provider or getting a job with training. What is important is to choose the course or training to suit your skills and aspirations. The pathway you choose will be based on the following: • The GCSE grades you have achieved or expect to achieve • How you like to learn • Where and what you would like to study later • What you want to do in the future Choosing the right courses can be critical for some career paths and it’s important to not unintentionally close off paths that you may wish to pursue later on in your career. What you can do to make the right choice: • Find out about different careers that interest you • Get advice from the people who know you like your parents and teachers and from The Careers Team at School • Look at the qualifications on offer to you at 6th forms and other local colleges and also consider whether an apprenticeship might be a good route for you. Choosing the right courses for university If you have a particular degree or subject in mind, now is the time to check out the entry requirements on the UCAS site, so that your post 16 choices are the right ones to ensure you get where you want to go post 18! If you really don't know what you want to do at 18, but you think higher education might be of interest then choose a broad range of subjects at 16 so you have maximum choice of university subjects later.
