University

It's important to take your time and consider all your options:
- What do you want to study? Even if you know what you want to study, there's plenty of other factors to consider. Do you want to study in England or would you prefer to study abroad? Do you want to study part time or full time?
- What time of year do you want to start? Most university courses start around September
