Courses in General

There are so many courses out there available at university to do. You always need to be careful as you need to choose the right course in order to carry your education further.You need to make sure when choosing the right course about what will happen after it. Most of us will choose a course and not know what happens after it.

It is very important when deciding upon which university course to undertake that you do as much research as possible as if you are taking a full time course then the subject and the destination you choose are going to be your home for the next few years especially if you study away from home.

In my lifetime, I've done quite a few different and varied courses, with mixed results! Firstly, after high school, I decided to do microbiology at Glasgow University. As I hadn't done biology at higher (AS level I think, if you're English), I actually found first year difficult. In first year I picked 3 modules; biology, chemistry and introductory mathematics. I didn't put in much effort, and it showed. In second year I chose 12 biology modules. I think there was a choice of 25. (I could have chosen to do chemistry instead, but although my ...  Read the complete review

If you want to do a Ph.D., here's some tips to remember. First of all, as I say to students thinking about doing a higher degree, how much do you WANT to do it? This may seem strange, but the thing to contemplate is that doing a higher degree course, especially a Doctorate, requires a great deal of intellectual stamina and determination. A Doctorate is a degree by research, that is you pursue a given topic and produce a thesis at the end of it (it could take anything from 2 to maybe 6 years or longer), which you then usually have to defend in a viva voce verbal examination against acknowledged experts in the particular field. This examination may ...  Read the complete review
