Higher Options: how can I choose the right course?

Imagine you’re in college and out on the town with your friends. The next morning you have an early lecture at 9am. Will you be there? Will you have the motivation and interest to stick with the course?

In committing to an area that really engages you, you will have the interest and passion to flourish in your chosen course.No one can predict what the jobs market will be like in a few years time, but in focusing on an area that you have a passion for, you can be sure you’ll grow and develop and help realise your full potential.The idea that the CAO is like Becher’s Brook – the famously tall jump in the Grand National – is a complete fallacy.
