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

  • Mathematics

    Mathematics is widely required. Physics or computing is commonly the second subject.

  • Robotics and mechatronics

    Mathematics is widely required. Physics or computing is commonly the second subject.

  • 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.

  • Computer science

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

Possible careers

  • Robotics engineer

    Direct qualifying route. The closest title. Mechanical or electronic engineering with the right options is a common alternative.

  • Computer games developer

    Related, but not enough on its own. Games development is a software role. This degree is not the usual 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.
