Abstract

For any student, picking an area of academic specialization is a pivotal moment that impacts their future career progression and personal fulfillment. Traditional methods like career counseling and information sessions often fail to give learners the necessary experiences to help them make informed choices. This realization necessitates a comprehension of pupils' transitions between academic disciplines. For this reason, this chapter has been rolled out to investigate the potential use of immersive virtual reality (VR) as a novel tool to enhance experiential learning and aid students in their academic specialization selection process. The work helps to assist students better if they understand the elements that contribute to happiness or discontent while choosing a study major. Teachers, career counsellors, students, and employers making decisions about their educational route may all benefit from insight into the variables influencing the choice of study and the link between decision-making processes and the degree of satisfaction after using the virtual reality platform.
