Picking Uni’s: Some Points to Remember

June 14th, 2008 by Kelvin

It isn’t just the course and the teaching style that you should concern yourself with. There are a number of other factors that are worth considering if you are planning to go back to university:

Where will you live - are you prepared or even able to study away from home? If not, how far and for how long are you willing to travel each day?

Can you commit to the length of time needed to complete the degree? This is usually three years for an undergraduate degree (BA, BSc etc), one or two years for a postgraduate degree (MA, MSc, MPhil etc.). Research degrees and doctorates tend to take longer, between 3 and six years depending on the type of study you are signing up to.

Do you require specific facilities from your university, such as an office, car park, technical resources/labs or a gymnasium?

Do you have the academic skills and qualification required, or would an access course be advisable?

Can you afford the university fees and other expenses associated with attending such an establishment?

If living away from your usual home, does the university you are looking at have separate accommodation for mature students or do you share with school-leavers? Does that idea bother you, bearing in mind that school-leavers are likely to have just left home for the first time and so may be a little excitable?

Would private accommodation be better for you?
