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 course.

Possible careers
- Graphic designer
Common route. Animation can lead to visual roles. A design portfolio still matters.
- Computer games developer
Alternative route. Art roles in games are possible. Programming roles need a different portfolio.
- Photographer
Related, but not enough on its own. Animation is not photography.
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.
