2Introduction
This booklet will help you think about your options and give you many ideas and resources to help
you to choose and apply for your destination after Sixth Form.
While we are happy to help you, we expect you to take the lead – from researching your options
thoroughly through to making your choices and applying.
What are your options?
After Sixth Form, there are four main ‘pathways’ that students tend to take:
1. A university degree course, such as:
• a Bachelor’s degree (e.g. BSc, BA) – usually 3 years.
• a direct entry Master’s degree (e.g. MA, MSc) – usually 4 years
2. Another route into Higher Education, such as:
• e.g. Higher National Diploma (HND) at college
• a Foundation Year at a university
• a Degree Level Apprenticeship
3. Employment with training - which could include:
• Apprenticeship / Higher Apprenticeship / Degree Level Apprenticeship
• National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) – work-based training.
• other college courses alongside employment.
4. A gap year (This is usually with the intention of entering Higher Education the following
year). This could include working, volunteering, travelling or pursuing another interest.
What if you have no idea what you want to do?
If you don’t know what you want to do after Sixth Form yet, the worst thing you can
do is wait, just hoping that you’ll think of a good idea. You probably won’t be in a better
position when it’s time to apply. Read the top tips below and get started.
Top Tips for everyone:
- Start researching your options early – you might explore several different directions
before you decide. Use Unifrog to do this.
- Start visiting local open days and employers events when you are able to. There are
so many virtual events out there at the moment which you are informed of every week on
the Sixth Form newsletter.

3Top Tips for everyone (continued)
- Use your technology - bookmark useful websites in your internet browser, download
helpful apps, make shortlists of courses, compare careers and keep drafts of your personal
statement. Keep your documents safe and accessible to you – e.g. in your own folder on the
school network or on cloud storage like Google Drive.
- Look at the right level of courses and apprenticeships – look for something which will
challenge and develop you further after Sixth Form, yet which has achievable entry
requirements for you personally.
- Be curious – look further into courses, careers and opportunities which catch your eye -
allow yourself to explore what you really want to do rather than what you think you’re
expected to do after your current A Levels. You are at an exciting crossroads and it is your
decision what path you take.
- Ask your A Level/BTEC subject teachers what different careers people go into in using
your subject, or if they have any suggestions for you to research.
- Talk to a Careers Advisor (your form tutor will be able to get you an appointment if you
ask.)
- Talk to your form tutor - they will be writing your reference for whatever you go on to
do, and it will helpful to discuss your extra-curricular activities as well as your school
progress with them so they can get a better sense of your wider interests and transferable
skills.
- Talk to people who know you and who see you in different settings – your family, your
friends, people you do voluntary work or paid work with - what do they think are your skills
and best qualities? Can they suggest any career ideas or courses?
- Keep a note of opportunities which interest you – at some point you’ll have to narrow
down your search.
- When you have a shortlist, research the entry requirements carefully so that you do
not waste any applications by applying when you are not eligible.
- For university courses and careers - it is fine for your top choice to be aspirational (entry
requirements you’ll have to work hard to meet can help you achieve higher) but everyone
should make well-researched backup plans, and keep in mind what is realistic as you
progress through your A Level courses and receive projected grades.
- Attend all the guidance sessions (whether these are virtual or in school)
- Be organised – make notes in this booklet and bring it to all tutor sessions after the
Summer break.
- Keep your parents/guardians informed about your research into your options. It will
help them not to worry if they know you’re taking action, and it is very likely you will need
to work out some aspects of your future together.
There will be a Post 18 Options Information Evening for Parents of Y12 once it is safe to do so.
4Why should I consider Higher Education? (10 reasons)
1. You are more likely to get a job with better pay and promotion prospects. There is a
wider choice of jobs and careers for people who have a degree; some careers
require a degree.
2. There are so many different subjects and different ways of studying and learning, so
you can find a course to suit you.
3. You will learn more about yourself and what you can achieve. Your confidence and
self-awareness will probably increase, helping you towards the next steps in your
life.
4. You will make a wide circle of friends, most likely from different areas of the
country and the world, and different backgrounds and cultures.
5. It is easy to get involved in social life and activities at university, so you can have
fun, keep up your existing interests and try new pastimes. Sports facilities are
generally excellent.
6. You will get support from tutors, student groups and new friends to help you make
the most of your time. Universities offer extra support for students with disabilities
and students coming from a care background.
7. You can gain new experiences and many transferable skills through your study,
such as independence, communication skills and constructive thinking.
8. You can often fit in some volunteering and/or part-time work around your study
and also in the holiday times (the terms are generally much shorter than at school).
9. Universities and the students’ union are generally very active in welcoming
diversity, fighting prejudice and promoting minority rights. Be not afraid; you will
meet open-minded people!
10. The costs of higher education are generally worth it, provided you choose your
course well. Tuition fees are only paid back when you are earning over £25,000 per
year.

5Choosing a Higher Education Course
There are tens of thousands of different university courses covering a huge variety of subjects.
To make a decision, you will first need to take into consideration the following main points:
➢ your enjoyment of your A Leve/BTEC l subjects and your interest in new subjects.
➢ needing a specific qualification in order to work in a particular job or profession.
➢ being able to meet the typical entry requirements.
Have a look at all the degree courses available in the UK on UCAS and UNIFROG.
Unifrog has everything ‘under one roof’ so use this as your starting point.
Once you have a list of possible courses, shorten it by researching specific details and comparing
the degrees very carefully. Think about:
➢ the structure of the course – what topics will be included? Do you get any choice of
topics? Can you include a study abroad year if you want to?
➢ the mode of study (e.g. lectures, tutorials, workshops, seminars, laboratory work, studio
work). How many hours of contact time will you get each week? How will you be assessed?
➢ the exact entry requirements of a particular course
➢ the location, type of campus and accommodation available
➢ the costs and financial support for your personal circumstances.
Look at the course provider’s website carefully. Order university prospectuses for free.
Book on to virtual Open Days and see for yourself.

Sixth Form and university. Often used for gaining wider experience and transferable
skills.
UCAS Offer A university gives an applicant an offer of a place at their institution via the UCAS
system.
Firm choice The UCAS applicant chooses their preferred offer as firm.
7Insurance choice The UCAS applicant choose their second choice offer as insurance in case they do not
meet the entry requirements for their firm choice. Therefore, the insurance choice
must have lower entry requirements.
UCAS Extra Applicants who have used all 5 course choices and have no offers can add a further
choice from 25 February to 4 July 2021.
Clearing A process commencing on 5 July 2021 whereby unfilled university places are available
for students holding no offers.
Adjustment An opportunity commencing on A Level results day (12 August 2021) to trade a firmly
held university place for a place on a course with higher entry requirements.
Student Loan A loan from the Student Loans Company which applicants apply for via Student
Finance England. The amount varies dependent on the current government policy,
family financial situation and special circumstances. It is only paid back when the
individual is earning above a certain salary and gathers a low rate of interest.
Tuition Fees Annual fees charged by universities, usually paid for directly by the tuition portion of
the student loan.
Halls of Residence Students-only living space, usually blocks of individual study-bedrooms with shared
bathroom facilities or en suite bathrooms, and social spaces. Meals may be provided.
Societies Social clubs at university, around a shared interest e.g. Film Society; LGBT+ Society;
Come Dine with Me Society; Dance Music Society; Student Action for Refugees;
Debates Union; Swahili Club; Exmoor Pony Riding Society; Game Development
Society; Women in Business Society; Mountain Bike Club; Drumming Society.
Vocational Relating to a particular type of employment or career path
Deadline A non-negotiable time limit. These are used very firmly in the UCAS process and in
universities in general.
Conditional offer A university offers a place provided certain conditions (usually A Level grades) are
met.
Unconditional offer A university offers a place without the usually conditions. Sometimes this is genuinely
unconditional so it can be selected as an applicant’s insurance choice; sometimes this
is not truly unconditional – the university may say the unconditional offer is only valid
if the applicant selects it as their firm choice.
Plagiarism Passing off somebody else’s material as your own original work, deliberately or by
carelessness. Totally unacceptable by UCAS and universities.
Add in any extra terms you learn along the way and want to remember:

13Non-University Pathways
You will have a dedicated session on the range of options available to you if you decide that going
to university or an undergraduate degree is not the route for you.
Apprenticeships
Apprenticeships combine work with study at a University. When you are searching for
Apprenticeships you need to be looking for Degree and Higher apprenticeships as these are the
natural progression after you have completed your A level/BTEC studies. Entry requirements
depend on the sector and prior skills.
Approximately 140 industries offer apprenticeships. The most popular sectors that offer them are
in:
▪ Business and Administration
▪ Childcare
▪ IT
▪ Engineering
▪ Cyber security
▪ Construction
▪ Health and Social Care
How do I search for Apprenticeships?
The best place to start is Unifrog
Use the Apprenticeships search tool to research live vacancies.
Unsure about what industry you fancy? Use the Careers Library.
