SWOT Analysis

Strengths
  • Good computing skills - very beneficial for the course I'm doing.
  • I feel that I am a good learner, as for most things I am being taught, I can adapt fairly quickly and easily. For 3D Modelling, I managed to teach myself how to model and animate a very simple but effective character, complete with different facial expressions.

Weaknesses
  • Difficulties with communication skills - since I suffer from Asperger Syndrome, I am generally very quiet by nature, so I find myself unable to speak up when needed.
  • Presentation skills need improving. I have a tendency to stutter and react nervously under pressure when giving a presentation, or in other, similar situations.

Opportunities
  • Since the pathway I'm following seems to be a mixture of most of the computing/media modules at the Univeristy, I'll (hopefully) be earning an all-around good degree that can provide me with many future opportunities.
  • Because I'm doing things a bit differently to other students, I'll eventually leave University with both an HND and a BSc degree.

Threats
  • After leaving University, I'll have a debt of over £12,000 to pay back to the Student Loans Company, however this (supposedly) doesn't have to be paid back until I'm earning at least £15,000 a year.
  • There's also the possibility of me failing to earn my BSc degree. However, I will still have my HND degree.
