Your future is in the STATS!

It's time for Level 3 students to make a decision about their next GIANT step in to Higher Education. One of the biggest decisions of their lives - whatever happens over the next three years WILL shape their future careers.

Mum's and Dad's want their kids to gain a BA Honours, [and why shouldn't they?] and that is the very reason the editor pushed to change the two year graphic design course from a Higher National Diploma [HND] to a university-linked Foundation Degree.

But surely, a HE course at little provincial Wigan & Leigh College School for the Arts can't be as good as a 'life-changing' three year stint in the educational stratosphere?

You wouldn't imagine so . . . what do students think of other graphic courses?

UniStats is an independent government comparison site, that provides information about undergraduate courses for prospective students - and it makes very interesting reading. So how happy are students about their course at universities?

Above University of Leeds . . . and University of Central Lancashire [UCLAN] and below Liverpool John Moores and University of Chester.
And what a surprise [really?] Wigan School for the Arts Foundation Degree . . .
