Introduction
- This handbook will guide you through the UCAS process. It can seem daunting but I will give you as much help and guidance as possible, as will other staff here at School.
- Over the next few months you should think about what you want to do in the future; what you want to be doing with your life when you first leave school and where you see yourself in 5 years time.
- Even if you are not sure whether you want to go to university, my advice is to put in an application. This will keep your options open and you can always defer or even withdraw when your mind is made up. Things that you seem sure of now may seem very different in a year.
- Attend university open days, talk to admissions tutors and students. Find out what their life is like and consider whether that is the right environment for you.
- For those of you who decide that university is definitely not the right choice, we will help you as far as possible with looking for job vacancies, apprenticeships, writing CVs, reviewing letters of application etc.
- The most important thing is to ask for help when you need it. Don’t rely on second-hand advice - people mean well, but in this increasingly competitive area you need to be in possession of all the facts.
