University programmes often have similar names, but may have different specializations and contain a different selection of courses. Find out more about the programmes that interest you, and consider the variety of courses that you will need to take.

Think about the type of careers the university programme will lead to. Ask about the jobs that recent graduates have obtained. Does the institution have an internship programme where you can apply skills you have learnt to real life situations? Does the institution have a career service to help you build a resume and train you for job interviews?

A key aspect of a university is the facilities it offers, such as lecture areas, library, careers service, and sports and leisure facilities. A visit to the university campus to meet some of the students is a good way of assessing and understanding the facilities and other aspects of campus life. The availability of student accommodation may also be an important factor in your decision.
