Hi, i don't know what course i should do at university because i am one of those all-round students. I do Biology, general maths, 4u english, DT and Food technology. I was thinking about Marine Biology but it requires chemistry and maths and i don't really like either of those subjects. i did work experience in primary teaching but i found it kinda boring and tiring. I'm also thinking about journalism but i'm not sure if i could do it....

Here's what I did.
When you get your UAC Book which tells you all the possible courses you can apply for through UAC, go through it. Page by page. Degree program by degree program.
Circle or mark
any course you're interested in. Don't look at if you're good enough for it, or if you might not get the ATAR, or whatever. If you're interested in it,
by name only - mark it.
You'll have a list then. I did this, and I had 90 courses.
Now, eliminate the universities you won't or can't attend. That'll whittle down the courses.
Then take a closer look at the course descriptions - the sorts of things you'll be learning. Eliminate more and more.
In the end, you'll have about 10 or so - or even less - and armed with that, you go to the uni open days and ask further questions, or do internet research on the degrees you want to do.
It's time consuming yes, I spent a whole two hour study period in Year 12 doing it, but at the end of it, I had a very, very, very good idea what I wanted to do.
