Questions to ask when enquiring about a degree 

Here’s our guide of what to ask – beyond, will you take me with X UCAS points or X years of industry experience? So you don’t leave the conversation with an offer, but no real idea:

• How many hours/day will I be in?
• What are the student to teacher ratios like?
• Have you taught students like me before? – this one’s especially good if you have extra needs
• Is there mental health support available?
• Are there any bursaries I can access if things get a bit tough financially?
• What practicals will I be doing to get me ready for industry?
• How do you work with industry?
• Do tutors have links with people in industry to help us network?

Remember, finding a course is about more than the entry requirements, it’s about choosing the right experience for you.
