So basically I am going to start University this year at Sussex for History. All I know is I really wish to go into academia and writing but I dont have a clue how.
I wish to do my postgrad at a better institution, like say, Oxbridge or the london unis. What are the chances? what are the steps I need to take such as in extracurriculars or activities while doing my degree, is it more competitive at postgrad than undergrad? Have I shot myself in the foot by going to Sussex?
what exactly do I need I guess I'm asking, to become a writer/lecturer and researcher? Any other qualifications etc, I would appreciate if someone gives a an answer in a laid out timeline fashion of all things people do to get to this position starting from undergrad such as other activities, participating in societies etc because I really dont have an idea thanks. I dotn know much apart from the grading of undergraduate degrees lol thats it
