Should I worry if I have never made anything technical before university?
You do not need to decide whether you can study at university based only on having no prior experience making technical things. However, the assumed background knowledge, pace, and practical work in classes vary by university, faculty, and course. If you are interested, reviewing basic mathematics or related subjects, or trying a simple making, programming, or experimental activity, can help you prepare and explore your interests.
Key points
- Do not judge whether a course suits you solely by your pre-university experience.
- Check the official curriculum and course requirements to understand the preparation expected.
- Trying a simple activity can help you explore areas that interest you.
Things to check
- Required background knowledge and recommended preparation vary by university, faculty, and course, so check the official admissions information and curriculum.
