The reality for many aspiring students is that despite having done enough to qualify for university entry, there are simply not enough places available at tertiary institutions. It’s one thing to advise young people to follow their passion in their chosen future career paths, but another if you cannot apply for studies towards that career! Limited spaces mean that for example, at three of Gauteng’s leading institutions only one in four applications will be accepted.
The good news is that applications for diplomas and degrees at Boston City Campus & Business College are still open until Friday the 13th of February, so those who have not made a decision on their studies, or haven’t been accepted at a university can still apply and register!
“Boston would like to encourage all students to visit their nearest Boston support centre as soon as possible. Those who are still uncertain about what they want to study should complete our Career Compass Assessment, a computerised assessment tool that clarifies your interests, passions and skills and identifies which career paths are best suited for you. With the help of our career counsellors, you will be able to decide what course is best for you, and start your studies without any delay,” says Natalie Rabson, Marketing Manager at Boston.
Boston maintains liaison with corporates in order to continue offering relevant courses that meet industry needs, and that are developed by industry specialists who are leading professionals in their fields.
