Akash Mattupalli Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 Hi all, My subject choices for IB are: HL: Literature, Maths and Economics SL: Physics, Spanish and Business I am thinking of doing either engineering or designing for my undergrads, followed by MBA for my masters degree, wishing to go towards marketing as I am very creative. The types of engineering that attracted me are Aeronautical and Mechanical, and I like Graphic Designing, did that for my GCSEs and got an A. So what do you guys say?

sodonewithib Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 Hey there! Marketing for Masters sounds like a solid plan! I'm doing Graphic Design as undergraduate We can't really tell you what to do because this is your future and only you can tell what interests you and what you'd like to be. I can advise you on graphic design though. It depends where you'd like to study if you want to go into design. In the UK there's plenty of great options. All of them require portfolios showing your research, planning and final works, of course. Their IB requirements are quite lenient though, leaning towards 28 points minimum. The choice design schools I'm applying to are UAL (http://www.arts.ac.uk/) and Goldsmiths (http://www.gold.ac.uk/), as well as a couple others such as University of Reading (http://www.reading.ac.uk/) and Kingston (http://www.kingston.ac.uk/). If you end up going into design, I highly recommend you check them out. Now obviously, engineering may be a more professional path... but do what makes you the happiest because if you study something you don't enjoy/enjoy less than something else, what's the point? Out of engineering and designing, decide which one interests you more. There's very possible careers and paths in either of them. Design can lead you into marketing, art directing, advertising/publishing, etc. If you ever need help in making the decision since they're quite different fields, speak to your IB coordinator or academic guidance counsellor in your school and they'd love to further advise you on what you can take in uni. Good luck in the IB! 2 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexalexalex Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 Hey! Just a tip, if you want to do engineering you better switch physics up to HL before it's too late, Good luck! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akash Mattupalli Posted December 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Hey guys, thanks for the advice! I'm going to talk to the head of year to switch to Physics HL! I think it most probably will happen. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
