For those that have a particular career goal in mind - such as dentist, teacher or broadcast journalist, for example - making this decision might be quite straightforward.
However, if you’re torn between a number of possibilities, ask yourself the following questions:
- What subjects do I enjoy studying?
- What am I good at?
- Are the subjects I’m interested in ones that I have studied before?
- What do I see myself doing after university? How would the subject choice affect this?
- It’s necessary to question your reasons as you go along to try to get it right first time.
While some students do consider leaving their course, you can save yourself a lot of trouble further down the line by exploring your subject choice thoroughly.
