Step 1: What Are My Interests?

Before choosing a program, you first want to think a bit about yourself and your interests. It might be helpful to think about what you would like to work with or what you would like to do for a living.

Answer the following questions for yourself and write down the key points.

Interests	What do I enjoy doing? Which school subjects do I like? What do I like to do in my free time? What do I like to talk about?
Skills and strengths	What subjects am I good at? What am I good at outside of school? When am I particularly proud of myself?
Values and objectives	What matters to me in life? What makes me special? What should the balance between job, free time and family be like? Am I comfortable with change or do I need security?
Career aspirations	What is my dream job and why? Which fields of work am I interested in? What kind of activities would I like to perform? What does my ideal working day look like?

Advice and support
We are happy to set up an appointment and work with you on your portfolio of interests.
Many universities and advice centers hold orientation workshops and seminars on choosing a program of study at regular intervals.

Don’t forget to talk to others about this. It may be interesting to hear what your parents and friends think you should do. What are you good at in their eyes? What are your strengths? What are you enthusiastic about?
