University courses

Search degrees, check A-level, IB Diploma or AP subjects, or follow a pathway from school subjects to a career. None of these tools is an offer of a place.

Explore a pathway

Move between school subjects, a degree and possible work. A link is not an offer and not proof that a degree is enough for a regulated job.

Choose a branch, then a career.

GCSE and IGCSE preparation

  • English and mathematics

    Often expected at GCSE or IGCSE. Grade thresholds differ, and International GCSEs are not automatically the same as GCSEs.

  • Sciences

    English language and mathematics at GCSE or IGCSE are commonly expected. Required grades differ by university. International GCSEs are not automatically treated as GCSEs.

A-level subjects

  • Mathematics

    Two of Mathematics, Physics and Design and Technology is a common pattern.

  • Physics

    Two of Mathematics, Physics and Design and Technology is a common pattern.

  • Design and Technology

    Two of Mathematics, Physics and Design and Technology is a common pattern.

University courses

  • Building Services Engineering

    Related, but not enough on its own. A degree does not replace an electrical apprenticeship or trade qualification.

  • Mechanical engineering

    Another course linked to a related career. Open it to see the route strength.

  • Aerospace engineering

    Another course linked to a related career. Open it to see the route strength.

  • Biomedical Engineering

    Another course linked to a related career. Open it to see the route strength.

Possible careers

  • Electrician

    Related, but not enough on its own. A degree does not replace an electrical apprenticeship or trade qualification.

  • Mechanical engineer

    Alternative route. Building services is a branch of engineering, not every mechanical engineering job.

This is a possible educational route, not an offer of a place and not a prediction of a job. Direct, common, alternative and postgraduate routes are not the same thing.
