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.
- 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
Mathematics and Physics are the usual pair.
- Physics
Mathematics and Physics are the usual pair.
University courses
- Mechatronics
Mathematics and Physics are the usual pair.
- Mechanical engineering
An alternative or related degree, not automatically an equivalent qualification.
- Electrical and electronic engineering
An alternative or related degree, not automatically an equivalent qualification.
- Aerospace engineering
An alternative or related degree, not automatically an equivalent qualification.
Possible careers
- Robotics engineer
Common route. Mechatronics is a common academic route into robotics. Job titles vary.
- Mechanical engineer
Common route. Mechanical content is substantial, but it is not identical to a mechanical engineering degree.
- Electronics engineer
Common route. Electronics content is part of the degree, not the whole of electronic engineering.
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.
