Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Help me choose a degree

.LP.

Sorry, I hope this is the right section, cant find much, but this is the sort of area I'd like to do a degree in, so I'll put it here. Sorry if its the wrong place or if it has to be moved.

Basically, I'm clueless on what degree to do, I've done hours of research and have a few ideas, but don't have a solid degree choice. My original plan was to do Law, but doing the A level, and hearing stories from degree students, I don't really want to do that anymore, and I'm stuck.

A big interest of mine is Film and imagery, so films and filmmaking (more the technological part e.g. filming, editing, directing. I'm not an in front of the camera guy). I also have an interest in photography, and computer graphics and design, logos, web design e.t.c.

Basically, I want to know if any of you knows of degrees or places you would recommend for studying these sort of subjects. I've seen Film degrees, but they seem to focus on history of film e.t.c more than the practical aspect.

Also, are degrees like this pointless? and kind of irrelevant, and unneeded for this sort of job sector.

I don't know if I've been too brief, oh sorry, grades i'd be expecting are AAB or ABB

Thanks in advanced for any help

Have a look on here! This is actually for courses starting in Sept 2013 and I assume you'll be Sept 2014, but they hardly change at all, if ever.
Perhaps start with "film production" or "television" or something like that as a key word :-)

Another good website is www.whatuni.com - you can search on 'Film' and see what range of courses there are.

Also look at : http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/wiki/Help_Choosing_a_Subject for general advice.
