The choice of the study field depends on many factors. Usually it is related to actual interests and skills, sometimes it is dictated by current trends in the most forward-looking directions and course availability for international students.

It is hard to say what might be difficult or most demanding for just you. In general history, marketing and journalism are difficult directions for a scientific mind. For a humanist, all faculties related to science might be demanding. The degree of difficulty is very subjective depending on how much time and effort you want to put into your studies. Overall, it is considered that law, medicine, construction or IT are difficult fields of studies, but remember – not for everyone! Moreover, when you want to study in Australia, the language barrier is often an additional challenge and learning curve. However, it is worth remembering that what one person finds demanding might be easy for another person.

When choosing to study, it is important to choose a field related to your skills and interests to be sure that you can do well at the University and get a satisfying job in the future.
