Alternatively, they may experiment with different subject choice combinations to see which degree choices this would open up to them.
The National Careers Service is provided by the UK Government. Their website includes a large collection of job profiles and in each case users can see which qualifications are necessary for particular roles. The service can also be used by those who are looking to speak with a careers adviser.
UCAS has an events page where students can search for upcoming open days at different universities.
Prospects offers useful information on career pathways, including job profiles detailing typical salaries and the qualifications and skills required by role type. There is a section on careers relevant to different degrees and a career planner and quiz.
The Russell Group represents 24 leading UK universities that are committed to conducting the very best research and to providing an outstanding teaching and learning experience. These universities also offer unrivalled links with business and the public sector.
The Sutton Trust is a 'do tank' that conducts research and advocates policy change. It also manages, develops and evaluates programmes to address educational inequality, including summer schools for teachers and Pathways university access programmes.
