In this episode, Jon and Tim invite their most athletic* guest so far: Chris Mullen, Education Liaison Manager at Edge Hill University into the expert seat (*our evidence is that Chris's Dad was a professional footballer, and Chris studied a sports degree!!). Join us as we discuss the importance of making option choices and their role in university entry.

We delve into various option choices, including the role of GCSEs, A-Levels, BTECs, and T-Levels when it comes to university entry. We even throw in a sporting game for some fun!

Reflecting on Chris's option choices, we explore the significance of GCSEs for university applications and how post-16 option choices like A-Levels play a crucial role. Additionally, we delve into the role of post-16 option choices for certain university subjects - for example, how Biology is essential for Physiotherapy studies, who knew?

We even get a bit controversial while reflecting on whether schools provide enough guidance to students seeking university-ready choices.

Additionally, we discuss a highly useful resource for students making option choices - The Informed Choices Website - https://www.informedchoices.ac.uk/. Check it out!
