How to choose the right Higher Education Institution (HEI): Look into the reputation and accreditation of potential HEIs. Decide if you prefer to study close to home or in a new city or province and consider the cost of living as well as tuition fees.
Ensure that the institution offers the specific course/qualification that you want and review the curriculum. Understand admission requirements, make sure you meet the admission criteria.
Choose a field of study that excites you and aligns with your career goals and most importantly, do not choose an institution based solely on it’s rankings, do thorough research on it!

Many students make common mistakes when choosing their careers. Let's look at some misconceptions about the engineering faculty. You might think that chemical engineering is just chemistry, mechanical engineering involves only working with greases like a vehicle mechanic, or computer engineering is about fixing computers etc.
While these may be correct to some extent, they’re not the true meaning of these fields, as such, it’s crucial to research each field thoroughly before applying for it, and most importantly, consider the employability and career opportunities that it may have.
