1. You get to focus on the subject you really love
When you’re
in sixth form, you’ll be splitting your
time between a number of
different subjects.
You might be learning about
plate tectonics in the morning,
the Cold War in the
afternoon and then going home to write an analysis of a play.
At uni, you’ll have a laser focus on one subject (OK - maybe two if you opt for
joint honours), and you’ll delve deep into your area of interest from all angles.
Think of it as ‘all killer, no filler’ - you’re choosing the EXACT subject you want
to study, meaning you get to study the topic you’re most interested in every single
day.
When you’re specialising like that, you’ll want to have picked a subject you really
love. If you’re not yet sure on this, the subjects you’re enjoying at college could be
a good place to start. But don’t think you have to stop there...
