This article provides an overview of the range of education options available to parents in the United Kingdom. Many parents are increasingly choosing to study abroad to study a course that they want to pursue. Some are returning to their home country to study further, while others study abroad as part of a higher education degree. When deciding which courses will be the best fit for your needs, you should first consider what type of study is best suited to you. There are three main categories when it comes to education: general studies, universities, and the adult education sector. Most parents prefer the general studies route because it allows them to combine their home with their studies. With this option, it is important to choose the right course at the right time.

The second choice, universities, requires students to select a specific subject for study. This includes not only subjects such as English, Maths, Biology, Social Sciences, Arts and Design Studies, History and geography, but also has a range of degrees which include Masters, Bachelor and further training. The number of institutions that offer courses varies from one location to another; there are currently over eighty in the United Kingdom. For those who would like to study abroad, universities can offer a greater range of courses and programs, allowing you to tailor your chosen subject to match that of your chosen country.

Finally, there are Universities that have an adult education focus. Adult education courses are for people who are aiming to become qualified teachers, or to develop careers in the academic world. To date, there are nine colleges in the United Kingdom that offer this curriculum. This form of education, although traditionally regarded as a secondary education, offers the flexibility to combine education and work.
