Further/Higher Education
What is the difference between Further and Higher Education?
Further Education is the term given to any education after secondary school that is not an undergraduate or postgraduate degree. It’s what you learn after the age of 16, but usually not at university.
Higher Education is the term used when we’re talking about education at university. You usually have to be 18 or over to take a higher education course. They come under two categories: undergraduate and postgraduate.
If you are unsure as to what level or subject you should be studying please contact us to speak to one of our dedicated advisers.
