How to apply for an apprenticeship
Read our top tips to make the most of your apprenticeship application.
Finding university accommodation
If your child has their heart set on university halls, they’ll need to do their research and apply early. Places aren’t always guaranteed, so it’s important to encourage them to think about alternative accommodation, which can be equally fun and provide a safe living environment.
Processing and using revised grades
Once applicants have received revised grades they may contact you regarding their previous firm choices which were made unsuccessful (REJ) or had changed course offers (UCC) to find out if you will be willing to reconsider them.
Scholarships, grants, and bursaries: Music
Music scholarships, grants, and bursaries are available to students who show exceptional musical talent, whether they’re studying a music degree or not. Find out how to apply, extra benefits you can get, and more.
What is Clearing?
Clearing is how unis and colleges fill places they still have on courses - over 30,000 courses in fact. If you’re applying through Clearing, find out what to do, and how to apply.
