Im a total bigginer when it comes to looking at universitys as i am only in my 5th form of school but i would like to start looking at different courses and Uni’s now to give myself the best possible chance of getting it right! What is the difference between a degree, HND/HNC course, foundation course, postgrduate course, and any other important courses i will need to know about? Also is their a good website that tells you about different university courses? And finally what is the best way to start looking at courses as i do not know yet what career i want to follow?

Ok, when you first enter university and you have decent enough grades, you will enter into an undergraduates course. That’s all you really need to know at this stage. Seriously. Stuff like postgraduate study comes after undergraduate study. Most people don’t go on to do postgraduate study anyway (but it is a requirement for some career choices).

You really need to have an idea of what direction you want to go if you want to know a course. Since you are so young, I suggest you think about 1) what subjects do you like and 2) what might you want to become when you are older. When you have thought a little about these, you search only to see what it kind of courses would involve doing your favourite subjects or what course you should study to become whatever you like.

eg. if you like computers -> search “computer course undergraduate university”
if you want to become a doctor -> search “how to become a doctor”

You will change your mind MANY times before you decide on a university course and that is totally normal. So, keep your mind open and keep your grades up (this will give you the best chance of getting into a good university course).
