DS16 is starting to think about what to study at university and there doesn't so far seem to be a single subject that suits him best. So he's considering a combined honours degree.
Are these generally thought of less well by future employers?
Also, can it mean that two departments expect 100% work and don't take into consideration the demands of the other department? I've heard that this might be the case with Oxbridge degrees - that effectively you end up trying to cover the work for two different degrees at the same time. But is that the case elsewhere?
He's interested in Russell Group unis, wouldn't discount Oxbridge but unlikely to get in and is thinking about combining English and Theology or Theology and Psychology or English and Philosophy. His A level subjects are Eng Lit, RS and Pre-U Philosophy.
