Research shows that students who choose courses that they are interested in and have some relevance to their future career direction are more likely to be successful in their studies. Employers are interested in your ability to learn as much as the knowledge you have gained.
Getting help from others
Here are some great resources to help the decision-making process:
- if you are still at school, use your school careers service;
- look up “Career Counselling” in the Yellow Pages to make an appointment with a qualified Careers Advisor;
- talk to people already working in your career of interest;
- gain work experience in your area of interest;
- have some Course Information emailed or mailed to you;
- attend one of the annual Uni Info Days (held at all three UTAS campuses) in August; or
- discuss your course options at UTAS with a Student Recruitment Officer on 1300 363 864.
