Choosing a course
The choice of courses at UK universities can be overwhelming by the sheer number of courses available. Especially for students who don't have that much choice in their own country, making a well informed choice can be very challenging.
I can help you find your way through this maze of options, but to start you off, here are some pointers.
Most students will have a subject, or maybe even two, in which they are really interested. This is of course a good starting point. It can also be a point of confusion.
- do you have a career or job you would like to get into, and if so, what does this involve or require?
- what does each course involve and what entry qualifications do you need?
- what are your chances of getting in?
- what is the standing of the course you are interested in?
- would you like to combine it with another subject? Or maybe even two?
- how much do you know about where it would lead to?
- what are the course fees and can you afford them?
- what about the average living costs for the area where the university is located? London is going to be much more expensive to live in than Huddersfield…
- London may offer you other things… what would your place of choice offer you?
