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.
Selected coursePhilosophy
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
- Philosophy
Philosophy does not usually require a named A level. An essay subject is useful preparation.
- Law
An alternative or related degree, not automatically an equivalent qualification.
- Journalism
An alternative or related degree, not automatically an equivalent qualification.
- English literature
An alternative or related degree, not automatically an equivalent qualification.
Possible careers
- Writer
Alternative route. The writing practice can help. It is not a creative writing or journalism course.
- Solicitor
Related, but not enough on its own. Philosophy is not a qualifying law degree. Further legal training would be required.
- Barrister
Related, but not enough on its own. Barrister training is a separate professional route.
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.
