Choosing a subject that aligns with your interests and future aspirations is crucial. Consider the following tips to help you make the right choice:

• Reflect on your daily interests – could they be integral to a future job role?

• Explore job sites and graduate career options for insights into post-study possibilities.

• Align your subject choice with your career goals and the qualifications specified for potential roles.

• Refer to subject guides and explore industries graduates typically enter to gain a sense of your options.

• Search for courses by subject to explore the available offerings.

UK degree courses vary in specialisation, with some being highly focused from the start, while others offer more flexibility. Carefully review course descriptions and visit university websites for additional details before making your decision.

Thinking about more than one course or subject?

To enhance your likelihood of securing a spot in a course, we offer the flexibility to apply to up to five courses simultaneously, typically within a similar subject to ensure relevance across all applications.

However, please be aware of the following restrictions:

A maximum of four applications is allowed in fields such as medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, or veterinary science.

Generally, you can apply to only one course at either the University of Oxford or the University of Cambridge. Exceptions may apply—refer to the respective university websites for detailed information.
