Universities and colleges direct

Universities and colleges produce a wide-range of information about their courses and will be only too happy to supply this information to you or answer any questions you may have.
Institutional websites and printed prospectuses are a good starting point - you can find contact details in our university finder section.
Undergraduate course databases

The Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) website contains an undergraduate course database - allowing you to search by one or more subjects of interest or course code, with the ability to refine searches on regions, an institution and/or type of course. UCAS entry profiles can help you find out more about the contents of particular courses.
The UCAS Big Guide also includes a complete list of courses and entry requirements in print and CD-ROM format.
UKCourseFinder allows you to search for a course either by subject or university using data supplied by UCAS.
Postgraduate course databases

Those looking for a database of postgraduate opportunities should visit the Prospects.ac.uk site.
Opportunities are also advertised on university and college websites, in the specialist education press and at Jobs.ac.uk.
