If you used Clearing in 2024, how did you find it?

What university course should I pursue?

I'm stuck between Child Nursing, Journalism and Digital Marketing. For Child Nursing, I've only just become really interested in the course since doing work experience, and plus I love working with children, however I'm scared of how hard the course is going to be. For journalism, I've been thinking about it since I've picked english language A-level, but I don't know if I have what it takes to take on journalism, and plus it's a competitive field so I'm not sure if i'll be able to achieve a career in that field. And for digital marketing, I'm passionate in art and learning how to create digital advertising and how it's marketed online. But I have no experience in adobe, digital art and marketing, so I'll probably struggle the most out of that course. Ahhhh what should I pick, it's my first week of sixth form and I'm not sure if I should drop english lit for sociology so I can get into a Child Nursing degree!! Please helpppp!!

Hi
I start university next week and am off to study child nursing. I understand where you coming from and there no need to worry or panic I know can be surreal and so much pressure to pick a career now and start preparing to apply to unis I was in the same shoes not so long ago I just finished y13 honestly I was still stuck on what to do I wanted to be a midwife,paramedic,adult nurse,social worker and a child nurse 😂. Lucky I had picked a health and social care level 3 which was a very flexible course that allowed me to pursue various different job roles in health and social care industry but eventually I settled for child nursing. Honestly you will know what course is for you and don’t let fear hold you back if you want to do a course whether it child nursing,journalism and digital marketing although these are 3 completely different degree you should pick what makes you happy. Anyway who’s says you can only have 1 degree you can always go for 2 degree in another subject if you feel like it. Honestly suggest speaking to a career adviser in college for professional advise but hope I helped the best I could.☺️
