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
- Software Engineering
Many software degrees do not require a particular A-level subject. Mathematics or Computer Science is often preferred. This is not a national rule.
- Computer science
An alternative or related degree, not automatically an equivalent qualification.
- Artificial Intelligence
An alternative or related degree, not automatically an equivalent qualification.
- Games Development
An alternative or related degree, not automatically an equivalent qualification.
Possible careers
- Software developer
Direct qualifying route. A usual degree route into software development. A degree is not the only way in.
- Web developer
Common route. Web work may also be reached without this degree.
- Computer games developer
Common route. Games jobs often want a portfolio as well as a degree.
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.
