Choosing the Right University Course

Choosing the right university course for yourself is very important as it will most likely determine what you will be doing for your working life. We've had past students who graduate and go onto doing:

• Commerce
• Law
• Petroleum
• Engineering
• Medicine
• Science
• Arts

or combined degrees (combinations) of the above.

We will talk briefly about what career paths each degree tends to lead to, and our recommendations for each degree.

What course should I choose?

Unlike choosing HSC subjects, there is no scaling implications or anything to do with special 'rules'. University is purely about yourself - choose the course or courses that interest you. For example, if in the HSC, you did very well for economics and tend to enjoy the subject, choose Commerce or Economics at university. If you really enjoyed chemistry or biology, aim for medicine, medical science, pharmacy, optometry, physiotherapy or veterinary science. There are many possibilities, each with different goals in mind.

We recommend you to do petroleum courses in islamabad, except that you should definitely choose the course you're genuinely interested in. Whether you want to earn a high salary or contribute to your field, you will do well if you choose something you're good at. There's no point in choosing Commerce/Law or other highly demanded courses, just because your UAI was 99+ but you have no interest in commerce and/or law. Students who do this tend to regret their choices after a year or two, whereas students who choose degrees based on their interests are generally more fulfilled and do better in their degree and future career. There's no substitute for the motivation and natural aptitude you will get from doing something you like, and no matter what you do, if you do it well, you will get what you want (whether it's a high salary, recognition, contribution to your field etc).

petroleum courses in islamabad is a more career-oriented degree for quantitatively inclined people. There are many fields of engineering (mining, materials, petroleum etc) and in Australia, mining tends to produce the highest paying and most abundant jobs. Choose this course if you are interested in Physics, Chemistry and / or Mathematics (particular mechanics).

Another particularly popular choice is Aeronautical engineering at USYD. The misconception here is that graduates tend to work for airline companies designing planes and plane parts (called high-speed aerodynamics). This is the obvious career path, but aeronautical engineering also lets you work for car companies, designing aerodynamic external parts for cars (called low-speed aerodynamics).

All of us have been down this path one time or another and we're always happy to give you advice. Our team consists of people who have done law / med / petroleum emgineering / commerce / arts / science and a variety of others. We can tell you all about transfer criteria and what to do in order to maximise the chances of you getting into the petroleum courses in rawalpindi. even after the HSC is over.
