We\u2019re halfway through the year already (can you believe it?), and that means a tonne of year twelve students are now less than six months away from graduating! It\u2019s an incredibly exciting time, but it can be a little stressful too; trust us, pre-grad nerves are totally normal.<\/p>\n
To help ease any uni-related worries, we\u2019ve partnered up with Findex to bring you our official guide on choosing your university degree and locking in your future! If you\u2019re currently in year twelve, or any year for that matter, you won\u2019t want to miss this.<\/p>\n
Picking out what subject you want to study for the next few years can be a little intimidating, but there are ways to make the decision easier.<\/p>\n
If there are any high school subjects that you really <\/em>loved, you might want to choose a related degree! For example, if you loved English, you could try out a literature degree, or if you loved math you could work towards a Bachelor of Accounting.<\/p>\n The key to picking the best degree for you is taking into account your unique skills and preferences. It\u2019s a decision you must make for yourself, not for anyone else. After all, it\u2019s your future on the line!<\/p>\n Remember, your degree should be related to your dream career path (otherwise, what\u2019s the point?). In other words, if you\u2019re an aspiring accountant, a math-related degree might serve you better than a bachelor of fine arts.<\/p>\n Research your preferred career pathways and figure out which degree will set you up with relevant skills. This way, you\u2019ll be sure to make smart, informed decisions about your university journey!<\/p>\n It can also be helpful to do some research on potential graduate courses.
