Choosing a degree
When deciding on a course of study, you should consider your interests and strengths, as well as the teaching and assessment methods used in the degree.
If you have already decided on a subject area, or the degree you wish to apply for, you can use our degree finder to search for a suitable programme.
Deciding on a degree
If you are undecided, it might help you to think about the following questions first:
- Do you have a particular career in mind?
- What subjects have you previously enjoyed studying?
- In which subjects have you performed well?
- Are there any new subject areas which interest you?
Remember that many of our degree programmes also offer the opportunity to study subjects outside your main subject area.
Also bear in mind that courses with similar titles may be taught and assessed in very different ways at different institutions.
