Thinking about higher education (university level courses) but feeling overwhelmed by all the myths you鈥檝e heard? Don鈥檛 worry – we鈥檙e here to set the record straight.

鈥淚t鈥檚 too expensive!鈥�

Before you start counting pennies, let鈥檚 bust this myth. Yes, there are costs, but you can apply for a tuition fee loan from Student Finance Wales to cover the fees.

Once you鈥檝e finished your course, repayments will only start once you鈥檙e earning over 拢31,395 a year. If you鈥檙e not working or taking a break 鈥� you don鈥檛 have to pay.

There are also loads of grants, bursaries, and other subsidies out there to help cover living costs while you study. Head to our website for all the details.

鈥淚 can鈥檛 study and balance work or family life!鈥�

Yes, that鈥檚 wrong! Most of our university level courses run just 2-3 days a week. So, whether you鈥檙e juggling part-time work, raising a family, or have other commitments, you鈥檝e got plenty of flexibility.

鈥淗igher education is only for young people.鈥�

Absolutely not! Lots of adults dive back into education later on in life – whether it鈥檚 to climb the career ladder, change careers, or simply learn something they鈥檙e passionate about. At 麻豆传媒团队, you鈥檒l meet loads of students of all ages working towards their degree, who prove it鈥檚 never too late to learn.

鈥淵ou need A levels to study a higher education course.鈥�

Not true. Of course, we鈥檝e got entry requirements, but they鈥檙e not set in stone. If you have work experience or personal achievements, get in touch as you might still meet the entry requirements. Our friendly Higher Education team can help you decide on your next steps.

鈥淵ou can鈥檛 get a full degree at college.鈥�

You can. Many of our courses start with a two-year HNC/HND or foundation degree. Then, you can progress to study a one-year 鈥渢op-up鈥� to achieve a full honours degree. If your course is accredited by a university, you even get the chance to attend the graduation ceremony.

鈥淚t鈥檚 hard to apply.鈥�

Applying is so easy, it鈥檒l take you less time than making a cup of tea. No complicated essays or personal statements – just a quick form with your details directly on our website.听

鈥淐ourses aren鈥檛 real degrees if they鈥檙e at a further education college.鈥�

This is false. Our courses are accredited by universities like the University of South Wales, Cardiff Met, Aberystwyth University and Pearson. So, you鈥檒l earn a recognised degree and you get to stay local. Plus, you鈥檒l have access to all the partner universities鈥� facilities and resources.
