What can I study ?

Degrees, short courses, and diplomas in a huge range of subjects are offered by universities and colleges. There are lots of different ways you can gain these qualifications - full-time, part-time, day-release from work or by distance-learning.

There are over 50,000 different subjects to choose from !

Search for a degree course :  Find out what you can study and where in the UK you can study it

Choosing the right course is just as important as choosing the right location for your studies. Students who drop out of university in their first year are more likely to be those who did not find out enough about what the course involved.

You can get help with choosing university courses from Connexions or Careers Advisers

To find out more about courses you can order prospectuses (or view them online) from the universities and colleges themselves.
