Careers of the future
AP, IB, SAT and IGCSE are not only a ticket into university. The way of thinking these exams demand is the skill used every day in the careers of the future. Below you will find which exam and subject lay the foundation for each career cluster.
Most guides frame these exams as the way to win the best university. We ask one step further: which career comes after that university, and what skill does that career ask for today. Each cluster links to the university major that feeds the career, to the exam and subject that major looks for, and to the matching ITMagic program.
From data science to software and AI engineering, these careers are built on mathematical modeling and coding.
