what to think about if you're in y12: what faces you next year?

Your mates in the year above might be able to breathe a sigh of relief having submitted their final UCAS applications, and rightly so. But for you, the process is quickly becoming a reality. So now is as good a time to get your options after school ready.

If you've already got an idea of what subject you want to commit a few years of your life to, then kudos to you. Take a look at which unis might be good for you. Whether it’s the price of rent, how many UCAS points you’ll need, what sports teams they have or simply where they are, work out what matters most to you and start coming up with your shortlist.

If, however, you know you want to go to uni, but you haven’t the foggiest what you want to study, take a look at BestCourse4me. It shows you where a certain degree could take you or what jobs require what degrees. Basically, it takes a lot of the hard work out of it.

A few minutes spent looking at these resources now will save a lot of worry, panic and last-minute decisions next September.
