Five steps to styding at UG
1. Choose the right course
Selecting the best possible course for you is a key decision to make, and often a challenging one. It might be the case that for years you’ve been set on becoming a doctor/lawyer/architect/etc. And you know exactly how you’re going to get there. However, for most of us mere mortals it’s a little trickier than that. Determining what you want to do for the rest of your life can be very daunting; and even if you try your hardest to choose, it’s not usually something that you can decide overnight.
Do a course that you think sounds interesting because you’re more likely to enjoy it, work hard at it and as a result end up with a job that you actually like.
