Introduction
Higher education can be a life changing opportunity for care leavers.
It opens up career pathways, increases your employment prospects and you can make lifelong connections.

Reasons to get a degree
- You want to know more about a subject you love
- You want a job which needs a degree. For example, a medical doctor or an engineer.
- You want to earn more money. Graduates tend to earn more than those without a degree!
- You want time to gain work experience while you continue learning
