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.

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
- Games Development
Subject requirements differ. Programming routes often prefer Mathematics or Computer Science. Design routes may accept a wider range. Check which kind of games degree it is.
- Computer science
An alternative or related degree, not automatically an equivalent qualification.
- Graphic design
An alternative or related degree, not automatically an equivalent qualification.
- Software Engineering
An alternative or related degree, not automatically an equivalent qualification.
Possible careers
- Computer games developer
Direct qualifying route. A relevant degree can help, but studios usually hire from a portfolio.
- Software developer
Common route. Programming-heavy games degrees can also lead to other software work.
- Graphic designer
Alternative route. Art roles need an art portfolio. A programming games degree may not provide one.
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.
