University courses
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
- Journalism
English is useful. No subject is universal.
- English literature
An alternative or related degree, not automatically an equivalent qualification.
- Politics
An alternative or related degree, not automatically an equivalent qualification.
- International Relations
An alternative or related degree, not automatically an equivalent qualification.
Possible careers
- Newspaper or magazine journalist
Common route. A relevant degree. Other degrees plus a journalism qualification or newsroom training also lead in.
- Writer
Alternative route. Journalism is one kind of writing. It is not a creative-writing qualification.
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.
