What does a focused degree mean?

7/25/2022

We often describe our UK degrees as focused. Let's dive into what that really means, why they are beneficial to our students, and resources you can use to make your degree course choice simple.

What is a focused degree?

To cut to the chase, a focused degree is a program that is dedicated to one path of study. It could end in a certification in a specific field or professional level knowledge in one area.

Students studying focused degrees don't take courses in other field or programs so that they can focus their efforts on becoming experts in their field. The end goal of a focused degree is to help students be prepared for a career in their chosen area.

Since students studying in the UK aren't required to fulfill general education requirements, the career conversations students have during their time at university can help shape and guide them through the rest of their degree program. Before we dive into that, let's understand what a career conversation is.

Over President's Day weekend, first-year at UDA UoG, Roi Gil attended the BBYO International Convention in Baltimore, Maryland.
