Are you leaving school
but want to start work and still study towards your degree? Or perhaps you want
to pursue a two-year higher education programme which employers recognise
around the world? Do you worry about leaving home and running up debts whilst
studying? Maybe you are thinking over your options about what you want to
study?
Note:

Student Cricketers Given First-Class Support from MCC
A career in professional sport is the dream for many young men and women. What better job is there than one which enables you to make money out of something that you both excel at and love doing? The route to the top in sport is notoriously steep, however; by its very nature, the competition is fierce and those who don’t make it far outnumber those that do. Choosing between ‘chasing the dream’ and continuing with academic studies is a tough decision for any talented young sportsperson.

Computing at Greenwich University
Amy:
I choose to do my degree in Information Systems at the University of Greenwich because the course description seemed to suit me perfectly. I wanted to do an IT degree, but I didn’t want to spend hour upon hour writing computer code and programmes. It turned out to be exactly what I was looking for, and helped me develop skills beyond the technical IT world. Various coursework’s and team building exercises allowed us all to build on important softer skills too; time management, working in and leading a team, organisational skills and communication skills to name just a few.

A winding path…
Remember, your degree or A-level choice does not determine your life or your future career. I started studying Science & Maths A-Levels, then a Chemistry degree which I decided to leave after the 1st year. There were no spaces on the Economics course I wanted so I started Philosophy, Politics & Economics – intending to specialise in Economics. However, I fell in love with Philosophy so I specialised in that. And now I work in Marketing!Whats New In Computing?
