Studying any subject at degree level is an investment in the future that
involves significant cost. Now more than ever, students and their
parents need to weigh up the potential benefits of university courses.
That's where the Why Study series comes in. This series of books, aimed
at students, parents and teachers, explains in practical terms the range
and scope of an academic subject at university level and where it can
lead in terms of careers or further study. Each book tries to both
enthuse the reader about its subject and answer the crucial questions
that a college prospectus does not.
