History has produced many first-rate examples of second choices.
Did you know that Sean Connery was not the first choice to play
the action hero, James Bond? He was the Director’s fourth choice.
George Clooney wanted to be a professional basketball player,
but when he wasn’t chosen for the team, he shifted his focus
to acting and today he is an Academy Award winner and world
famous. Britney Spears wanted to become a lawyer. Imagine
how much poorer the music world would be without her talented
voice!
Robert Frost explains that by taking a road less travelled,
you might end up at the perfect place for you. So, don’t be
disheartened if you are not accepted into your first-choice study
programme. You will automatically be considered for your second
choice – and it might take you to where you need to be!
Please note:
It is not advisable to apply for two selection programmes as
your first and second choice.
Selection programmes are study programmes with early
closing dates and limited space and must preferably be
indicated as first choice on your application form.
The tables below are merely suggestions or recommendations
and must not be seen as compulsory second choices.
Remember that admission to your second choice study
programme does not guarantee later admission to your first
choice of study programme.

The essence of the
matter is that you
should not take
whatever course comes
to mind in the hope
that you will obtain
selection later on. If you
are not selected for a
second time, you may
waste a year or two.
Rather be focused on
the studies for your
second-choice career
and make sure that you
get good marks.
