Students need to know what is relevant to them about the nature of the degree courses they are considering. Degree Course Descriptions will tell them much of what they need to know in plain language.

The individual articles on degree course topics are mainly written by heads of department and senior lecturers at major universities. These people know their own courses from the inside. They also understand the doubts and difficulties facing students who are about to make choices that will affect their whole lives.

Each description can be viewed on screen, or printed out to give:

• a wide-ranging overview of the course
• details of the structure of each course
• career opportunities for graduates
• related degrees
• recommended reading
• recommended websites - updated and expanded to include UK and Irish websites
• 20-point course check - students can assess their own suitability using a series of 20 relevant questions based on interests, abilities and personal qualities

Each year, Degree Course Descriptions is updated and expanded to include more titles.

Degree Course Descriptions is available to buy on CD-ROM and for use online.
