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

  • Public Health

    A specific A level is often not required. Biology or a social science can help. Many public health careers expect a postgraduate qualification.

  • Adult nursing

    An alternative or related degree, not automatically an equivalent qualification.

  • Biomedical science

    An alternative or related degree, not automatically an equivalent qualification.

  • Biological sciences

    An alternative or related degree, not automatically an equivalent qualification.

Possible careers

  • Research scientist

    Alternative route. Health research usually expects further methods training.

  • Nurse

    Related, but not enough on its own. Public health is not a nursing 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.
