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

    Many healthcare courses expect English language and mathematics, and often sciences, at GCSE or IGCSE. Grade thresholds differ. No single grade is stored as a national rule. International GCSEs are not automatically treated as GCSEs by every university.

A-level subjects

  • Chemistry

    Chemistry and biology are widely expected. Some schools publish a slightly different science combination. Check the school.

  • Biology

    Chemistry and biology are widely expected. Some schools publish a slightly different science combination. Check the school.

  • Physics

    Chemistry and biology are widely expected. Some schools publish a slightly different science combination. Check the school.

  • Mathematics

    Chemistry and biology are widely expected. Some schools publish a slightly different science combination. Check the school.

University courses

  • Veterinary medicine

    Chemistry and biology are widely expected. Some schools publish a slightly different science combination. Check the school.

  • Veterinary nursing

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

Possible careers

  • Vet

    Direct qualifying route. An approved veterinary degree is the route to registration as a vet.

  • Veterinary nurse

    Related, but not enough on its own. Veterinary nursing is a separate register and course.

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.
