Contextual information Discover Uni allows you to compare information about individual courses at different higher education institutions.
You may find the following notes helpful when considering information presented by Discover Uni. Discover Uni relies on superficially similar courses being coded in the same way. Whilst this works on one level, it may lead to some anomalies. For example, Music courses and Music Technology courses can have exactly the same code despite being very different programmes with quite distinct educational and career outcomes.
Any course which combines several disciplines as many courses at Cambridge do tends to be compared nationally with courses in just one of those disciplines, and in such cases the Discover Uni comparison may not be an accurate or fair reflection of the reality of either.
For example, you may find that when considering a degree which embraces a range of disciplines such as biology, physics, chemistry and geology for instance, Natural Sciences at Cambridge , the comparison provided is with courses at other institutions that primarily focus on just one or a smaller combination of those subjects.
