University Guide 2026/27: how to choose a course and find a job

Care looks at Medicine, Health Professions, Psychology, Exercise Science, Pharmacy and Biotechnology.

 Design crosses Engineering, Architecture, Design, Fashion, Energy and Materials.

Deciding brings together Economics, Management, Finance, Law and Political Science. Understanding and Communication enters the humanities, languages, communication, education and cultural heritage.

Calculate and Protect focuses on Mathematics, Computer Science, Statistics, Data Science, Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence.

Regenerate follows the thread of environment, agriculture, biology, chemistry, geology, energy and sustainability.

It is not only a course map. It is also a practical compass. The guide explains how to read a syllabus, what questions to ask at open days, how to evaluate internships, workshops, transitions between courses and professional outlets. Ample space is devoted to artificial intelligence, which enters university curricula but also study tools and preparation for entrance tests.

For those who have to face a course with programmed access or an assessment test, the simulations edited by Alpha Test are back: from Medicine to the Health Professions, from Psychology to Architecture and Design, up to the economic-legal, scientific and humanistic areas. A way to measure yourself immediately with logic, text comprehension, mathematics, biology, chemistry and general culture.

Then there is perhaps the most concrete chapter: the life as a student. Because the cost of university is not just fees. Rent, transport, canteen, books, computers, software, travel, commuting time all weigh in. This is why the Guide devotes a section tooff-campus students, student halls of residence, colleges, no tax areas, scholarships, tax breaks and honour loans from banks.
