More advice
If you are wondering what you can do with a particular degree subject then look at www.prospects.ac.uk. When you go to this site you should click on 'options with your subject'. All sections of this website are useful for your longer term planning. Take some time to explore it.
A useful website written by students for students is www.push.co.uk, this looks at the 'Why, Where, What and How' of studying.
Note: Beware of strongly biased views and check out the information on 'facilities' with the official prospectuses as these are not updated as regularly as they could be.
