College or Advanced highers (S6)

It’s great that you already know the direction you want to go in -criminology or forensics are both super interesting fields!

If you already have the qualifications you need, either staying on at school for S6 or going to college sound like they could be good options!- it sounds to me like it really just depends on your personal preference. (: - College courses can sometimes offer a more practical or hands-on approach, and if you feel like you’d thrive better in that environment, it could be a great move. There’s also the option to stay at school and head to college later too, so don’t feel you need to rush the decision if your unsure. (:

It might help to ask yourself if staying on at school is more for the social aspect (prom, leavers etc) or the education side of things, Advanced highers are always a great way of getting to specialise in a particular area in much more detail than you would at higher however if your more certain in what you want to do you might find college have more specfic courses availible, it’s definitely worth looking into the courses available near you and seeing what alligns with your interests!

Whatever path you choose, you’ve got options, and both routes can lead you to where you want to be 😀

Hope this helps!
