As the 2025 academic year approaches, British students are choosing degrees that combine employability, innovation, and flexibility. The world of work is evolving — and universities are responding with programmes that meet real industry needs.
1. Business and Management Remain a Classic Choice
Business and Management courses continue to dominate, especially for students seeking career flexibility. Universities in Birmingham, London, and Manchester report record enrolment in Marketing, Finance, and Entrepreneurship degrees.
2. Healthcare & Nursing – Demand Keeps Rising
The NHS shortage means nursing and public health degrees remain among the most employable. Mental health and adult nursing are particularly popular. Many universities offer paid placements and NHS-linked bursaries.
