Ask Yourself Questions Before You Change A Qualification At Unisa
Before you think of changing a qualification at Unisa, students need to ask themselves the following questions:
- Why do you want to change?
- What do you want to change?
- What are your next steps?
Why Change?
Before you change, it is important to reflect on why you want to change your qualifications. For example, are you thinking of changing your qualification because your career ideas have changed, or do you want to change due to not progressing with your qualification as quickly as you thought? To carefully consider your next options, you need to make time to reflect on your current circumstances. For now, you may think that you want to change your qualification, but you may find that it may only be a matter of negotiating additional support for your studies.
Ask yourself the following questions:
- What are you hoping for (how do you see things changing)?
- What is it about your current qualification or Unisa study experience that is challenging for you? Have you thought about how you could manage these challenges? What support do you need?
- If you have already thought about a new qualification, how do you see this new qualification helping you prepare for the career opportunities you are hoping for?
What To Change To?
Your first step would be to explore the different options available to you. Think about if there is a way for you to continue with what you have been doing, and then add another qualification, to shift focus.
Secondly, you need to identify whose support you need. Think about how you can utilise your existing professional network in order to identify other opportunities.
