Not sure what to study?

Don't forget that a degree will be a minimum of three years of study, so think carefully about how interesting you will find studying in one area over that length of time. 

Visit the course information page to get a breakdown of required and optional modules during each year of study and make sure the majority interest you before going any further with an application. 

It’s also worth exploring the wide range of options out there. If you’re interested in art you don’t need to just think about illustration - why not explore Games Design. Similarly, if you’re great at English, think about options including Social Media and Marketing or Broadcast and Digital Journalism. 

There are plenty of things you can study which might not have occurred to you before...

• If you already know you want to work in a certain industry, it’s worth exploring how different degrees can get you there too. 
   
• Some jobs will require very specific training, while for others, degrees in a variety of subjects will be relevant, so do some research to get a better idea of what a company might expect from you once you graduate. 
   
• Will you need tailored work experience, placements, or a professional body accreditation? Check our course pages to know what a subject includes.    
   
• It’s also a good idea to think about how you’ll be learning and assessed. If exams aren’t for you, think about courses where teaching is focused on practical work and presentations – again, get as much detail as you can. 
   
• Hear from existing students and graduates via social media to see where they’ve put their degrees to use and what they’re doing now. 
   
• You can also explore UWL through virtual tours to get an idea of a department and what facilities you’ll be using. 
   
• And finally, get in touch and talk it through with us to make sure your interests and experience will be a good fit on your chosen course.
