Going to university: and student finance...
Going to university gives you the opportunity to transform your life
n A university degree can provide entry to a wide range of careers and opportunities. Those who have degrees are also more likely to be in employment than those with lower level qualifications.
n According the Office of National Statistics, 2011, graduates will earn around £12,000 a year more over their working life than non-graduates, so a degree can be considered a worthy investment.
n In order to progress in specific careers, such as being a doctor, you will be required to study that subject to degree level. An increasing number of careers and employers now require degrees (especially for senior roles), these include nursing, teaching and many computing and technical jobs.
n Study a subject you love at a higher level and be taught by experts in your chosen field.
n Study in a global community of students bringing rich and varied experiences.
n Acquire and develop the higher level skills that are prized by employers.
n Access a range of opportunities to enhance your personal development, skills and experience: internships, volunteering, working with researchers, studying abroad.

The good news is that getting funding isn’t as bad as you might think there are loans and grants to help you with all of these costs.
