Your Next Step
Whether it's a top university, Higher Level Apprenticeship with a national firm, or employment locally, students benefit from a structured 'Post-18 Choices' programme. This individually tailored programme, partnered with the UEA, allows students to investigate all their options before deciding on the route they wish to take.
The below handy interactive guide from UCAS should allow easy access to all the Post-18 information you need to help make decisions.
Individual guidance is available from tutors and outside agencies to ensure every student progresses on to a fulfilling future. Students looking to apply to Oxbridge and Russell group universities have a bespoke application programme to ensure they are fully prepared for the process.
