With so many subjects to choose from at university, it can feel like a lot of pressure to decide which you might prefer, which you might be best at or which would lead you to a particular career.

In this episode, current student Andrew talks about his own challenges of choosing a university course, as well as his experience of transferring courses in his first year of university and the career considerations he had along the way.

We look at the independence and transferable skills university provides, regardless of subject choice. But also the opportunities to combine subject preferences or build upon subject knowledge as a postgraduate.
