Are you having trouble deciding what to study at university?
With over 1,200 degree subjects and more than 55,000 courses to choose from it s impossible to know where to start. But don t worry, expert help is at hand from Brian Heap, the guru of higher education and author of sister title Heap 2011: Degree Course Offers. Heap helps you decide what and where you want to study at university, so when the time comes to fill in your UCAS application you are fully prepared.
Detailing all the major university degree courses in the UK, Choosing Your Degree Course and University helps you narrow down your options and build a shortlist of your ideal subjects, courses and universities. You ll also find expert guidance on all the key questions you need to consider when making your choices, such as what type of degree should I choose - vocational, sandwich course, something I'm interested in? What degree matches my career aspirations? How can I determine the teaching quality of a course?
Inside Choosing Your Degree Course and University, read the handy profiles on each degree subject and bite-size overviews of every UK university; find out about the courses and locations you re interested in before you choose where to apply to study. With an uncertain job market more students than ever are applying to university rather than finding work - in 2009 150,000 people were left without a place at university due to the increase in applications. And for those lucky enought to win a place, every year thousands of students want to change courses or universities in their first term because they made the wrong choice about what or where to study.
Make sure this isn t you.

Paperback. Etat : Good. Ah yes ? the turn of the millennium. Low-rise jeans. Dial-up internet. And a book calmly assuring you that if you simply make the right choice at 17, the rest of your life will unfold in an orderly and respectable fashion. Choosing Your Degree Course and University (2000) by Brian Heap is peak Trotman: earnest, practical, quietly authoritative and absolutely convinced that there is a sensible flowchart for your future. This is the kind of guide that speaks in reassuring paragraphs about prospects, pathways and personal statements ? as if adulthood is merely a well-labelled filing cabinet waiting to be opened. Inside, you?ll find advice on how to compare courses, decipher prospectuses (remember those?), weigh up campus life, and consider such minor details as ?what you actually want to do with your existence.? There are structured questions, sensible checklists, and the comforting implication that if you gather enough information, uncertainty will politely excuse itself. It?s a fascinating artefact of pre-social-media decision-making. Back when you researched universities with printed guides instead of scrolling through curated campus sunsets on Instagram. Back when ?student debt? felt theoretical and nobody yet suspected that entire industries would appear and disappear before your first mortgage. There?s something wonderfully optimistic about it. The book assumes that with careful thought and planning, you can align passion, practicality and prestige in one tidy bundle. It is, in its way, heroic. And slightly adorable. Of course, reading it now carries a gentle layer of irony. The world has shifted, league tables have shuffled, and degree fashions have come and gone. But the core questions remain stubbornly relevant: What are you good at? What do you enjoy? Where do you want to be? How much does location matter? Those haven?t aged at all ? which makes this more timeless than you might expect. This 2000 Trotman edition (ISBN: 9780856604690 ) is in Good condition ? solid, readable, and perhaps lightly seasoned by the anxious hands of someone once weighing Law versus English versus Something With Prospects. It may not guarantee life clarity, but it does offer a glimpse into how we once tried to manufacture it. Ideal for nostalgia hunters, education historians, career counsellors with a sense of humour, or anyone who enjoys the comforting fantasy that major life decisions can be resolved with a highlighter pen. Available from Crappy Old Books , where the future is uncertain, but the paperbacks are dependable. THIS BOOK BEARS THE CRAPPY OLD BOOKS STAMP. IF THAT IS UNDESIRABLE PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS. THE STAMP MARKS WHICH IS USUALLY TO THE FRONT AND BACK INNER PAGES SAYS SOLD BY CRAPPY OLD BOOKS WITH WEB SITE URL. IT IN NO WAY DEMINISHED FROM THE READING.
