What can you do now if you want to go to University?

slide-36
SLIDE 36

It’s now time for....ACTION!

No matter what you decide to do,

your GCSEs matter!

Employers WILL be looking at

your GCSE grades to decide whether or not you look conscientious, hard working and a good student.

Universities WILL be looking at

your GCSE grades to decide if you should be given a place or not. They will be looking at whether you have always been a good student.

slide-37
SLIDE 37

Key messages

You can do a degree

that is very much linked to what you want to do as a career but you don’t have to.

Going to university can

help you get a job and career that you will enjoy.

A major part of getting

a degree is developing your skill set.
