A PhD is a doctorate. It's what you would get to become a doctor. Access to higher education is different to higher education. It's basically a stepping stone. It's something that over 19's can do and it is equivalent to 3 A-Levels.

Level 1 = Grade D-G/1-3 at GCSE
GCSE = General Certificate of Secondary Education (usually done at 14 to 16 years old but can be done as an adult as well)
BTEC = Technical qualification where it has different units rather than a set specification and also has a combination of coursework and exams
Level 4 = Foundation Degree (basically what you can do before 1st year- sort of a stepping stone into a degree)

That sounds exciting. Good thing it's not a degree in plants though.

Edit: oh wait you edited; You're not really having a break then haha. That's awesome that you work at uni tho!!
Although I will say I took a year out after my undergraduate (graduated 2022) to really decide what I wanted to do and to have a good look at different courses (e.g., mental health courses, health or clinical psychology but decided this one was right for me (and I knew the uni which was a bonus).
I'd say think about what really interests you and you're passionate about and just go from there
Hope this provides some help/insight into my process

Im uh retaking my gcses. My grades weren't exactly good enough for the course i wanted to do, so im retaking them, ive done my maths exam in November but, ive been advised to retake other exams to improve my grades even though i passed on everything else
to be fair gcses is probably a pebble compared to a-levels and beyond
even though i am going to do my gcses soon i have to be grateful that i dont have to worry about additional/extensive qualifications yet.
my school pressures us when in reality we only have 2/3 years of childhood left
i dont want to have to throw my remaining years away whilst solely being focused on my exams
I get the idea of being aware you don't have long before your childhood ends, so I agree you should enjoy it as much as possible, but once it ends, life still continues and you can still enjoy things, the only difference really is that you're an adult and you may take on different roles and responsibilities in your life that you know now.
