There are a number of things you can do to ensure that you choose the correct modules and field of study.
If you are unsure how many credits your degree requires, visit http://www.up.ac.za/yearbooks/home and access your chosen degree in the yearbook for more information. You could also contact your FSA and/or faculty student administration.
Additionally, think twice before dropping modules late into the semester. Click here for more information.
Shadowing is best done before you decide on a field of study, but is still beneficial while you are studying. It entails visiting a professional in your chosen field and observing them:
It is vital that you observe all aspects of a career you are interested in so that you have a holistic and realistic picture of that career.
Make an appointment with a professional in your chosen career and ask them to tell you what they think is good about the career, what they enjoy most about it and what the negative aspects are?
