Choose your subject

For most students, their degree choice is a balance.

Some students have known for a long time what they want to do. However, if you are struggling to decide, you can do some research on the internet and speak to an experienced careers counsellor or professional.

If you still can’t decide, you could consider a more flexible course or joint honours. You can also pick a course with time abroad or work experience.
