Episode 37: Is university right for you in 2025?
Are you wondering if university is the right path for you? In this episode, we’ll explore everything you need to know about making that big decision in 2025. From the key benefits of university life to common misconceptions, our expert guests and student panel dive into the real stories behind higher education.
We’ll explore:
- Why people go to university through the lens of four unique characters: the profession-seeker, the problem solver, the subject explorer, and the skills builder.
- Misconceptions about degrees and careers – and why your subject doesn’t define your future.
- How to explore super-curricular activities if you’re unsure about committing to university.
- Whether university is a smart financial investment and how to make the decision that’s right for you.
- Practical tips to help you choose the right course, pick the best university, and get the most out of open days and taster sessions.
And, of course, we’ll ask our student guests: knowing what they know now, what advice would they give their younger selves before starting university?
If you’re trying to figure out your next steps, this episode is packed with insights, practical advice, and real stories to help you decide if university is right for you. Tune in now and take your first step towards making an informed decision about your future!
