TWO: your timetable will be different
No more 9am-3.30pm days; universities operate on a much more dynamic timetable. Some days you may have lectures all day and other days may be completely free for your own independent study. This means that you need to know when your lectures are and plan accordingly but it also gives you the freedom to manage your free time however suits you!
THREE: you will only study a subject that you like
Speaking of timetables, you will no longer have to dread those subjects you don’t like. At university you pick your course. This could be a traditional subject such as Geography or English or something unusual such as Ethical Hacking, Surf Science or even Circus Studies! If you have a passion that you want to turn in to your career, chances are there is a course that will let you do that!
FOUR: you will have modules
Your university course is split up in to ‘mini subjects’ called modules – some of which are compulsory and some optional – on top of your course choice you will also have to choose some of these optional modules. This means you can tailor your course to your interests and you can even study modules from other departments such as learning a language even if you’re not studying one.
FIVE: you’ll have lecturers instead of teachers
Teaching staff at university are called lecturers. They will be experts in whatever specific subject you chose to study. Your relationship with your lecturers is a lot less formal than your teachers at school – you don’t need to call them sir or miss! They’re all friendly and passionate about their subjects, happy to answer any questions you may have about your course.
