Choosing your degree
Some degree courses - like medicine, physiotherapy, architecture and pharmacy - are determined by your choice of career. These courses provide a significant part of the training needed for these professions.
If you have no clear career plans, then you may be reassured by the fact that more than a third of jobs for graduates are open to graduates of any discipline. Whatever you are studying, The University of Nottingham will help you develop a critical approach to knowledge, the capacity for indepepdent study, an awareness of research and the skills and attributes to be successful in employment. As a result, The University of Nottingham graduates are consistently among the most popular with employers, across all subjects. With this in mind, perhaps the best starting point is to choose a subject you are really interested in. This will help you to stay motivated throughout your course.
Be realistic and think through all your options carefully. Contact admissions tutors to talk through the options before you submit your UCAS application - they can offer invaluable help and advice. If you decide that you have chosen the wrong subject, it may be possible for you to transfer.
