Choosing HE courses – checklist

  • What is the course content? Is this what I want to be doing?
  • Which parts of the course are compulsory and which are optional?
  • How many different modules are there to choose from in each year?
  • Will I have to take subsidiary subjects?
  • How flexible is the course? Could I swap to something else if I changed my mind?
  • How is the course taught? How will my work be assessed? Exams or course work or both?
  • What are the facilities like – libraries, labs, computers?
  • If it’s a vocational course, is it ‘accredited’ by professional bodies? Will it give me exemptions from professional exams?
  • What’s the drop-out rate from this course?
  • Do graduates from this course get jobs?
HEALTH WARNING!

The names of courses can be misleading. Courses with the same name can be very different while courses with different names can be very similar! Don’t make assumptions – check out course content thoroughly in prospectuses.
