Sixthformer's Guide 2008

Choosing a higher education course can be one of the most important decisions a young person has to make. Their chosen degree subject may be offered at many institutions throughout the UK but how should a young person choose which one is right for them? This guide will help applicants to make the right university choice by helping them to get the most from open day and taster course visits.

This annual guide provides a comprehensive listing of open days at all UK institutions of higher education as well as fact sheets covering taking a gap year, studying abroad, sandwich courses and sponsorship. There is also a section covering taster courses, that are offered by a number of universities, that give people an opportunity to get an understanding about a subject they may not be familiar with before committing to it.
