Can I change subject for my master's?
Often, yes. Conversion master's in computing, data, business, law and psychology are designed for graduates from other fields. Engineering and health master's usually require a related bachelor's.
What is a foundation year?
A one-year programme that bridges the gap between your school qualification and a degree, used when your grades or subjects do not meet direct entry, or when you need academic English. Common in the UK, Australia and Malaysia.
Specific subjects
Is an MBA worth it?
If you have two or more years of work experience and choose an accredited school, yes: it changes career direction and salary. Without work experience, an MSc Management is the right product.
Can I study medicine abroad?
Yes, at recognised schools in the UK, Ireland, Hungary, Poland, Italy, Grenada and elsewhere. It is competitive, expensive and regulated; we check the school's recognition in the country where you want to practise before you apply.
Which subjects can I study without maths?
Business (most programmes), law, humanities, media, design, hospitality, psychology (some), nursing and social sciences. Computing, engineering, economics and finance require maths.
