Providing higher-education-style experience for 16- to 19-year-olds in schools and colleges

Introduction

This guidance provides information for schools and colleges investigating the use of higher education (HE) units as part of their 16-19 curriculum.

The main focus of this guidance is how the use of HE modules can enhance the development of higher-level skills needed for success in HE and beyond.

It discusses the range of HE-style experience currently provided, its aims and its outcomes and concludes with some recommendations for the development of the 16-19 curriculum, including the use of HE units.
