Preparing for university

Researching courses

The University of Northampton has a wealth of different courses, in the areas of art and design, science and technology, social sciences, health, business and education. Courses are available in a variety of study modes including full-time, part-time and via distance learning.

To help your son or daughter narrow down their course search, try to determine with them their career ambitions and subject interests, as well as the type of study most suited to them.

Finances

Student finance can be complicated. There are lots of things to take into consideration when trying to estimate the cost of university, for example tuition fees and living costs. However, financial aid is available through a variety of means such as grants, scholarships, bursaries and student loans.
