For those students who see Engineering as their ideal career, it’s important to know the types of subjects that can make your route into engineering significantly quicker. Core subjects such as science and maths will always be important, and without a good understanding on these two subjects – and good grades – then you won’t be giving yourself much chance of success.

Many upper schools offer vocational subjects that can also help with engineering, including technology and engineering. If you’re school offers engineering, then you should aim to combine this subject with maths and science and you really will give yourself a good starting point, while technology is also a good option.

Engineering is not a common subject in schools but the demand for work when you finish is significantly higher than other careers and if you get the grades you need from the right subjects then you may just have a long and prosperous career ahead of you in engineering.
