▫️ UNIVERSITY (The Traditional Route)

University is typically the initial route one may travel, This can be great, but it can also be a waste, if you do intend on going this route make sure the education establishment is taught by experienced teachers and definitely do some research into recent graduates and the expected quality of work after graduating. If you are able to maybe try speak to a couple graduates to get a more accurate representation of the school. Although the university may look good in the brochure/website a hint of scepticism is healthy to ensure you choose the right school.
