A student’s requirements and personal profile data, provides a range of individualised criteria with which to interrogate myriad statistical information sources and data sets to aid decision making.

The decision making process is broken down to clusters of related components, organised into modules and structured into layers.

The two sides of the transaction are placed into corresponding pairs.

    or be interested in.

    speak with us or higher education staff.

The Complete University Guide

Complete University Guide:

Selecting the best possible course for you is a key decision to make, and often a challenging one.

  • There can be intense competition for the most popular courses, and later for graduate jobs.
  • Do you want to follow a course offering a clear career path?
  • The same title of course will not be taught in the same way, or cover the same material, at every university offering it.

So how do you go about choosing a course?

For a few people, choosing a course is simple: they have always wanted to be a brain surgeon or have always had a passion for geography, mountains and glaciers.

  • For most, however, there is a bewildering variety of courses, many subjects that are not taught in school or college.
  • To narrow down the thousands of courses what should you take into account?
  • Discount courses you do not want to study and Universities you do not want to go to, the field narrows significantly.

Why undergraduate?
If you’re thinking about taking an undergraduate course, you’ve probably already got prospectus after prospectus telling you which undergraduate courses you should go for. Before you start thinking about subjects though, have you thought about why you might want to choose an undergraduate course at all? Studying at undergraduate level can be very different to any learning you might have undertaken before so it’s worth asking yourself if a degree is definitely for you.
