Who and where are you now?

The information you need about university varies depending on if you currently live in the UK, Europe or overseas, and if you’re a student, parent or teacher.

The summaries below will help you short-cut to the most relevant sections of the guide, or other areas of the Goldsmiths website, that will be most useful to you.

UK students studying in the UK

• If you are in Years 7-10, What is University? and Student Life, will provide you with a good overview of university.
• If you are in Years 11, 12 or 13, the guide will walk you through your university options and the application process. All of the content is useful to you.
• Information for mature students (anyone aged 21 or over) is integrated into the text so all of the guide is useful to you.
