What subject did you do at Uni and would you do the same subject again.

Chemistry. I'd do it again (nearing end of career writing scientific software).

DH was also a chemist, went into a more conventional industry R&D career. He sometimes wishes he'd done something else.

There's a good deal of luck how things pan out, of course.

DD did engineering, she seems to be very much enjoying her job in that field at the moment and her BF likewise.

Computer Science in the early 80s, which led to my first job as a programmer and a string of related jobs through the 90s and 00s. Ended up as an IT project/programme manager.
Wouldn't change a bit of it. (apart from some of the cunts I worked with)

PPE and no. I’d have done civil or aviation engineering. Definitely would advise vocational

I did French & Economics and would probably chose French and Business If I had my time again. Absolutely loved doing French, it was and is my absolute joy and had the best year out in France as well.

I did law. It was okay but I'd probably do something different, Maybe history.

Started doing Mechanical Engineering.

Swapped after first year to Chemical Engineering.

Enjoyed it. Have liked my jobs. 100% would do again.

If like maths at school then I’d really encourage her to look at engineering. Particularly if also likes physics.

University Maths is nothing like school maths, which might be what she’s interested in. But if it’s more like school maths and the mechanics modules in particular then definitely check out engineering.

Law, and although it enabled me to become a lawyer I wish instead I had studied medieval history. I loved history and did an A level in it but decided to go for a “sensible” option. I am thinking of doing a degree in it now that I have taken early retirement

Speech and language therapy as a mature student. Yes I'd do it again (but glad I don't have to as it was bloody hard work!)

Applied maths and physics. I didn’t not enjoy it…. but would maybe have enjoyed environmental science or physical geography more. However I’m 100% glad I chose the uni I chose. The course didn’t matter as much.

Physics
Def the right choice for me

Maths - there is a huge variety of maths courses that it's likely one or the other will fit your child better

Business Studies. Enjoyed the course and it’s been useful in day to day life but I wish I’d done something more vocational with a career based qualification at the end of it.

Fine Art. I do something art related now so don't regret it at all. I did fine art undergrad and a computer art based masters. Glad I did it that way. Fine Art had a rigour of thinking at least fromy art school back in the nineties. I loved how we could explore and express ideas.

Chemistry. If I had my time again I wouldn’t have done it. Probably would have done physics.

Also wouldn’t have been a primary school teacher and instead would have gone straight to being an accountant rather than causing myself a lot of stress being a teacher first!

Jewellery Design. Loved the course and the social life, met DH through work and still in the industry. So, yep, wouldn't change any of it!

Fashion and textile design.
I enjoyed every minute of it, and have used it ever since!

Same! I was good at French at A level - probably because I loved my French teacher.
I really enjoyed my degree in business French, with a heavy emphasis on written and verbal translation. It's been very useful in life, even though I haven't used it in my career.
I would certainly study a language again.

Joint honours. English and Educational Studies. The latter was a waste of time.

English and Philosophy.

Loved the philosophy, hated English. It destroyed my relationship with fiction for years.

I should have done philosophy and politics or PPE.

Business and a foreign language. I wanted to do maths but my A levels went tits up. It was a good course but still wish I'd been able to do maths.

Theology. No.
Although it hasn't actually got in the way of a career in IT.

An applied maths/stats degree but I hated Stats and the computer programming involved, and should have done pure maths. and economics

Maths. I chose it because I was doing my degree via the OU as I was a single parent and it was the only subject that didn't require essays. Given the choice I would have done a creative/design degree.

I did maths at Cambridge in the mid 80s having done maths and FM A level with ease.

I hit a wall. Should have switched to CompSci. Wish someone had suggested it. Only survived because I was able to choose y3 options that didn't build on y2.

Psychology and definitely yes. It’s a great subject for ‘all rounders’ because it’s a great mix of science, social science, and humanities, and you can flex your degree according to your interests. I got to do biopsychology and human-computer interaction while my friend studied the psychology of art and child development. You do need to be fairly decent at stats but other than that it’s pretty flexible.
