This section is for parents or carers who have a son or daughter that is considering higher education. We know that, as a parent or carer, it is important for you to know about the options available to your son or daughter when they finish school/college, so that you can help them to make the right decisions. We also know that if your son or daughter is about to begin studying in higher education, you might have questions or concerns.

These pages provide useful advice and information about the options available to school/college leavers, as well as answers to many frequently asked questions on topics ranging from how much university costs, to how students manage if they are moving away from home for the first time. You can also watch video clips of parents talking about their experiences of their son or daughter’s journey into higher education. You will also find useful information about things like how to apply for higher education; the different sorts of courses available and much more.
