University Open Days
There are two elements to the choice – what subject to study and where to study it?
www.prospects.ac.uk is an attractive site, aimed at University Undergraduates, with a good deal of information about the link between Degree subjects at actual jobs/professions.
Picking a University on the basis of hearsay and exploration of the web can be disastrous: visiting at least a short-list of potential universities is very wise and it should help to avoid joining the 10% to 20% of the students who do not complete their first year. Open Days are the formal and well organised way to see what a University has to offer, but less formal visits can often be arranged. See individual University websites. Mr MacArthur and Mr Baxter can offer specific advice about selection of Universities.
