As people with CF are living longer, healthier and more independent lives many more are thinking of going into higher education.

Going to university can enable you to realise academic potential, broaden your career prospects, secure financial independence and achieve personal satisfaction. It also offers the chance to make new friends, think differently about yourself and the world and have a great time!
