The start of a new year is always full of resolutions, expectations and a few doubts.
If you are in 2nd Baccalaureate, This is probably not just any January: it is the year in which you will make one of the most important decisions of your academic life!what to study and where to study!

The good news is that you still have time to prepare yourself with calm, information and judgement. In our blog we tell you how to cope with this last stretch before university and what you should bear in mind to start this new phase with security and confidence.

The year you decide your future (even if it doesn't feel like it)

You may be focused right now on exams, papers, and the PAU, But this year is about much more than just passing subjects. It's time to start asking yourself:

• What really interests me?
• In what kind of environment do I want to study?
• Do I prefer something practical, international or more personalised?
• What career opportunities are there in what I like?

Choosing a university is not just about choosing a degree, is to choose a way of learning, thinking and preparing yourself for the professional world.

Inform yourself before you decide: Don't just go by the name of the grade

Many students search on Google “what to study after the baccalaureate”.” o “best university careers”.”. This is normal.
But there is something just as important as the name of the grade: how to study and what university experience you will have.

Before deciding, look at aspects such as:

• Methodology (theoretical vs. practical)
• Size of the groups
• Attention and support from the teaching staff
• Internship and international mobility opportunities
• Career guidance from the first year

The university experience begins long before the first day of class.

A good way to get to know him is to attend open days, where you can talk directly with teachers and students, resolve real doubts and see if you fit in with the educational project.

University as an experience (not only as a Degree)

University is not just about studying to pass. It is also:

• Learning to think critically
• Meet people from different countries and realities
• Finding out what you are good at and what motivates you
• Preparing you for an increasingly global professional world

As a result, more and more students are looking for universities with an international, contemporary and real-world outlook, where training goes beyond the classroom.
