If you are still deciding which course and institution might suit you, take the Stamford Test. It is a short questionnaire which can help to match your interests and abilities to possible higher education subjects. Many students find this helpful when trying to make up their minds.
After you have checked your Stamford results, you may also find Centigrade Online helpful. Centigrade goes into much more detail, matching your interests, study subjects and qualifications to direct you to up to eight course areas. Once you have answered the questionnaire, COA can email the report to you, or post you a detailed bound report with well matched selections. Centigrade costs £20 (£23 overseas) for a full colour printed personal report (approx 48 pages), or £15 for an emailed report.
