Frequently Asked Questions

We hope that many of your questions about HE will have been answered on this site - but here are a few others that the staff at the Learning Shop have answered.

Where can I study? This site tells you what's on offer locally. For national options, check out the UCAS web site at www.ucas.com for an excellent, comprehensive course database and lots of advice about HE throughout the UK. Many courses include the option of taking part of your study abroad.

Where can I find out about part-time, vocational & professional courses? We've listed the main course subject areas available locally in these pages and you can get more details about them from the college or university offering them, or from the Learning Shop.

Where can I find out about courses to help me in my career?Foundation Degrees, combining two years of study with relevant work experience, are a good option, and many new ones are becoming available in Norfolk. You'll find most of them listed in these pages but remember that new courses are constantly being developed. The Learning Shop can give you the latest details as well as useful contacts and information about becoming a teacher, social worker, nurse, lawyer, accountant, engineer and more.

What if I don't have the necessary entry qualifications? You'll see from this site that there's a range of Access courses available locally - Learning Shop staff can also advise you on these and other qualifications to help you join an HE course.
