my choices but I found it incredibly difficult. I wanted to study everything because I enjoyed all my subjects equally.
Speak to your head of sixth form and careers advisor
I went to two careers advisors with my friends, one in my sixth form and one outside of sixth form. In all honesty I didn’t feel that I benefitted from the careers advisors but my friends felt they did. I then spoke to my head of sixth form and she told me to go to taster courses at different universities. This was the most practical and beneficial piece of advice I have ever recieved regarding how
to find the right course.
Taster courses, summer schools and university events
I decided to go to a summer school at City University of London for Psychology, Physiotherapy and Speech and Language Therapy for a week. I didn’t enjoy practical based work in school and so I knew that the sciences were not for me. I went to a two day taster course at St Mary’s University for Law. Law seemed interesting but I was not entirely passionate about it. I went to a summer school at Highgate School for English Literature for a week after I got my AS-results. I then
realised that English Literature interested me the most and I had the potential to do well in it. I went to an event hosted by UK University Search where different universities held work- shops and handed out their prospectuses. This allowed me to communicate with professional and academic people with lots of experience who answered any questions I had. I was able to compare and contrast English Literature degrees at different universities and came to my final judgement based on which
university had the most diverse course.
