- Aiming to work in national or international policy agencies or charities promoting education for all;
- Integrating your talent in a distinctive subject such as drama, geography or biology with the systematic study of education as a social science;
- Keen to learn the skills of educational research with a view to working in government, the civil service or in academia;
- Someone who has followed a combination of arts, social science, mathematics and science interests at school and are seeking to continue with a similarly diverse range of studies at university.
