Not sure which course to study?
If you haven't yet decided what to study, there are some useful tools that can help you to come to a decision.
You can find subjects to suit your interests using the Stamford Test and research courses using Course Search, which lists every course available at each university and college in the UCAS scheme.
Many of the courses listed in Course Search will have an Entry Profile, which provides details about the course, about the university or college offering the course, and about the information you need concerning their entry requirements, selection criteria and admissions policy. Some Entry Profiles also provide information about the skills, experience or personal qualities admissions tutors are looking for in their applicants.
How to find Entry Profiles using Course Search
- When you find courses which interest you (by searching for a particular subject, or for courses at a particular university), look for the
symbol after the course title on the results page. If the symbol is present, it means that the course has a full entry profile. - Courses without the symbol have details about qualifications, but no information about the course itself.
- When you click on the course title you will go to the main course information page. You will find the entry profile link below the information required to complete the application. This link will take you to the profile for that course.
Unistats.com is another resource you can use to help you to compare subjects, universities and UCAS points and provides you with valuable information about what previous students thought about their higher education experience.
