Why higher education?
Having a degree improves your child's employability, with research showing that over the long term, graduates earn more than non-graduates. Research also shows that graduates are considerably more likely to be in employment than people with lower qualifications. In 2025, 92% of AUB graduates were in employment or had gone onto further study.
There's far more to higher education than financial benefit. It can broaden your child's intellectual horizons, widen their professional and social circles, and sharpen their life skills. A higher education qualification means that they'll have more choice, a chance to find a job they really love, and equip them with the skills to help them progress in their career.
WonderWhat
WonderWhat is our free careers guidance tool, available to all schools and colleges to bring a new dimension to exploring creative pathways.
Your students will be able to create a collection of images tailored to them, and browse through creative matches and generated study and career resources.
