As most schools and colleges are getting ready to break-up for the Christmas holiday it’s important for students to use this holiday time wisely if they still haven’t applied to university – the deadline is 15th January for starting in 2020.

Studying a degree is a significant commitment and it’s a big decision, over 20,000 don’t start their 2nd year so it’s really important to make sure you get as much information as possible over this Christmas break, to help you make the decision that’s right for you.

Even if you aren’t currently studying a “relevant” subject, don’t discount applying to a course that really interests you.
