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.

A-level subjects

Nothing to show for this stage yet.

University courses

  • Computer science

    Common route. Possible. Many web developers train through other computing routes or experience.

  • Physics

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

  • Electrical and electronic engineering

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

  • Cybersecurity

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

Possible careers

  • Web developer

    Common route. Possible. Many web developers train through other computing routes or experience.

  • Software developer

    Common route. A usual degree route. Portfolios and apprenticeships also exist.

  • Computer games developer

    Common route. Closer if the course includes graphics and real-time programming. A games degree is an alternative.

  • Database administrator

    Alternative route. Databases may be one module. The job also uses vendor qualifications and experience.

  • Network engineer

    Alternative route. Networking is not the centre of every computer science degree.

  • Cyber intelligence officer

    Alternative route. A computing degree can help. Security clearance and specialist training are separate.

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.
