Going to university is a life-changing experience.
You want to make the best of this investment in your future. But what if you're not quite sure what you want to do?
First: don't panic.
If you don't know what you want to do for a career, that's okay. University is about discovering new ideas, building your skills and finding your own path, so you don't need to be 100 percent sure to get started.
But there are some easy steps you can follow to explore your career options and start to get a feel for the different jobs or industries you might be best suited for.
Remember: your skills will grow (and change) over time.
According to the Foundation for Young Australians, the future of work is in transferable skills like problem solving, communication, teamwork, critical thinking and digital literacy. Demand for these skills is on the rise, and employers often prioritise them over technical skills.
All UniSC programs include a strong focus on the core skills you’ll need in the future workplace. No matter what you study, you’ll learn to communicate well, solve problems and think creatively. All programs also include hands-on training, practical experience and internships.
