Which course

Which course should I choose? Start from your goal and limits

The short answer

To choose a course, name your goal and your limits first: what kind of work you want, how long you can study, what you can spend and what marks you hold. Then compare the options that meet those conditions. The pages below are grouped by stream and by goal, with the entry routes and the checks to make.

Admission rules change; confirm with the official notice.

Two ways to narrow the field

One way is by qualification: your stream and the subjects you studied decide which courses are open. Another is by purpose: government employment, high earning potential, creative work, a low budget or a short duration. The pages below follow both ways so that you can come from whichever side you start.

Be sceptical of any course that is sold as the best for every goal. Salary, for example, depends on the field, the employer, your skills and the market, and each of these changes over time. A page that claims the highest salary is usually advertising.

The pages avoid rankings and focus on fit. They list real options, what each demands, and which official sources to check. You can then compare two or three choices against your own marks, interests and budget.
