HOW TO CHOOSE

It is obviously very important to make the right choices and it would be a good idea to consider the following elements before choosing:

1. Skills – What are you good at?
2. Interests – What interests you?
3. Teacher’s advice – The teachers know you and will know how to guide you.
4. Future plans – Do you need a certain subject in order to be admitted at a certain university?
Start doing your research early!
Below examples might be helpfull to you:
