Decisions, Decisions, Decisions: An analysis of the external factors affecting NCOP students and the impact these can have when making decisions about post-FE education

This study seeks to understand the narrative behind student’s decision making when deciding what to do after leaving college. How students construct their own reality of University and post-college life is not clear; this study seeks clarify what the perceived barriers are for students and work towards developing a means of breaking down these barriers for future cohorts.
