Hi Jahawi,

After high school my first step was to write an email to the chairperson of the department that I wanted to aplly to. He answered all my questions including the structure of the course, how I could further my career after Bsc, employement opportunities and scholarships. I have had no regrets since taking that course, I went ahead and did other three post graduate degrees in the same area. Here is a snipet of my story http://discover.jkuat.ac.ke/alumni-of-the-year-eng-dr-peter-macharia/.

My advice would be given that you have pasison in that area, find more about it from proffesionals already in that field, work hard and do your best.
