Whether you are from the arts or science stream, you will have four major considerations when choosing a suitable course after your SPM. You will need to decide on:
- the level of education you want to pursue (e.g. a pre-university programme that enables you to pursue year 1 of a bachelor's degree; certificate; diploma, American Degree Programme; Teacher Training Programme; semi-professional or professional qualification and many more.)
- the choice of institution (e.g. public or private institution of higher education, foreign institution, etc.)
- your field of study and qualification (courses can be grouped into arts-based courses, science-based courses, or career-based courses)
- or whether to go into the job market immediately
It is of paramount importance for school leavers to choose a right study choice for further education. While some have made up their minds on which education route to take, many are still undecided. For the latter, how should they begin their search? Among all the considerations stated above, the most important factor is choosing the field of study that matches your interests
