Choosing the right course

Posted in Education on January 28, 2010 by EduSpiral

So, how does one choose the right course? For some it is easy, for others it can be quite confusing. Some guideline I suggest would be to:

1. List down your top SPM subjects

2. List down your favorite subjects

3. List down your interests

4. List down what you are good at

With the list talk to your parents, friends and teachers to find out their opinion of what you are good at. List that down too. After that see which ones are closest to the courses on offer at the colleges or universities. Visit the colleges and talk to their counselors to find out about the courses, types of subjects, career prospects, types of jobs, etc.

After doing all that, you choose the top three and the ones that most interests you. If you are still unsure, you can always go for an international Pre-U course first. You have about a year to explore further before deciding which course for your degree.

It sounds like a lot of work, but hey, we are talking about the rest of your life.
