What subjects?

The choice of courses at school, college and university has never been greater, or more confusing.

From GCSE to postgraduate qualifications the choices young people are presented with can be overwhelming.

The introduction of applied science at GCSE and A level, choices beween apprenticeships, foundation degrees and BTEC qualifications, and the introduction of Diplomas in Engineering and other subjects enable young people to choose a course that suits their style of learning, but, without careful guidance, can result in them making the wrong choice. Students are often offered little formal career guidance on the best combinations of subjects to study and may turn to teachers for help and advice. As no teacher can be an expert on all the opportunities available for your students; we suggest you direct them to this website for guidance on the qualifications required for roles in different areas.

Information on alternative pathways into the pharmaceutical industry for those with different types of qualification are available in the Ways In section of this site to help young people make the right choice for them.
