Delayed Entry Into University
If you are unsure about what to study at university, or even about the merits of going to university at all, consider taking a break from formal academic study once you leave school. This can take the form of a Gap Year, or it could be a longer period of employment and/or vocational training. This gives you a good opportunity to find out how you might fit into the world of work, whether you will really need a degree to get ahead in your chosen field and, if so, the added motivation to succeed on your course. It is also a chance to add to your practical qualifications and perhaps do some travelling. There are plenty of opportunities to enter university these days later on as a mature student.
