1. Do further research on the internet
I’ve enjoyed A Level Philosophy and think I might want to study it at uni. I don’t know if I can do that without more A levels though.
What should I do?
Do further research on the internet
Ask her form tutor
Talk to her friend who’s at university

2. Research how to study more A levels
I used the UCAS website to find out more information. For most unis I need at least two A levels to study Philosophy so to study this I would have to do another year of A level.
What should I do next?
Research how to study more A levels
Research studying fashion at uni
Look at applying for jobs or apprenticeships

3. Research how to study more A levels
My form tutor helped me weigh up the pros and cons of studying either Fashion or Philosophy. Philosophy is more well recognised but I would need to do more A levels to study it. Fashion will involve more career experience and I could study it straight away.
What shall I do next?
Research how to study more A levels
Research studying fashion at uni
Look at applying for jobs or apprenticeships

4. Research studying fashion at university
My friend loves uni, she thinks I should definitely apply and recommends going for something that I love.
What shall I do next?
Research studying fashion at university
Research studying Philosophy at university
Speak to my form tutor as well

5. Research studying a fashion degree
I could study two more A levels in a year but might not be able to get funding so it could be expensive. If I cannot get permission to continue studying for free, or get a bursary, I won’t be able to do it.
What should I do next?
Research studying a fashion degree
Research other university courses
Research jobs and apprenticeships

6. Attend some university open days
Lots of unis offer fashion degrees and I should get the grades to get in. I’m still not sure if it’s right for me though.
What should I do next?
Attend some university open days
Research other courses
Look into apprenticeships and jobs instead

7. Look for volunteering opportunities to gain retail experience
There are lots of job opportunities in nearby shops, they only pay minimum wage but it’d give me time to think about what I want to do. I could also apply for a fashion apprenticeship, which would mean I could earn money and qualifications.
What should I do next?
Look for volunteering opportunities to gain retail experience
Ask tutor for help with apprenticeship application
Ask tutor for help with writing a CV

8. Ask tutor to help apply for an apprenticeship
I have found some volunteer work at a local charity shop. This will allow me to build up retail experience.
What should I do next?

11. Ask for help from tutor with personal statement
