Deciding between subjects: How I chose my degree course (Izzy)
I study BA (Hons) Economics and Politics, so here’s how I decided to choose this subject. Growing up, I never really knew what I wanted to be when I was older. I was quite good at most subjects at school, so there was no obvious path for me to choose when it came to GCSE…

Most importantly, plan time to relax. If you don’t allow yourself some down time you’ll just end up dropping everything.
