If you were going to University this year, what course would you study?

[BlueBloodedBlue]

Just reading the A'Levels/University threads on Facebook - out of interest for DC and I've just spotted my ideal degree - Human evolution and behaviour.

This is what I wanted to do nearly 40 years ago when I went but it didn't exist then so I did Psychology.

So, what would be your idea subject to study now? And if you went to Uni, how different is it to the course you actually studied?

History and theology

Law.

My actual degree is in English.

Linguistics

I did a maths degree.
I should have done Computer Science.

If I were doing something now for interest, maybe Archaeology.

Liberal arts.
at a uni that let me line up my own modules.

Youngest did liberal arts at leeds. I went with her for a taster day. It was amazing. BUT for 18yr olds please choose a liberal arts school
like leeds with a strong liberal arts learning module that brings the course group together - it’s easy to feel like a “ stateless person “ without a home department or group as you pick from different faculties

I enjoy what I do so would possibly do Biomed again, I wanted to do medicine but knowing how bad the work life balance has become I wouldn't even apply now.

Might think about pharmacy then doing aesthetics. If we lived down south I might have done something more pharmacology related.

Radiography or Pharmacy.

Anthropology or history. I'm quite happy with my actual degree though (social policy)

I am retraining and am starting back at Uni next month to do Medical Imaging (Diagnostic Radiography). Am simultaneously bricking it and fizzing with excitement.

My lottery winners dream would be to give up work, go back to uni and become an eternal student.

I already have the following degrees lined up...

Undergraduate:

• Philosophy
• Sociology
• Liberal Arts

Postgraduate:

• Jewish studies
• Quaker studies
• an ethics course (global, contemporary or practical)

Graphic Design, Computer Science or UX Design, interesting and the jobs are in demand.

Maths or Spanish. Or maths with Spanish.

Purely for interest if I had money to burn, maybe interior design.

I did English 40 (!) years ago.

If I went back now it would be just for fun and I'd do History of Art.

I’d also be a forever student if I had the funds. Would love to study anything and everything. Currently have an English Lit degree and also on my list are
law
psychology
cyber security
art history

Adult Nursing.

mum wanted me to train to be a nurse back in 1984 and I wouldn’t on principle as I was rebellious. I do kind of regret it.

Theology/religious studies

That's what my son is off to do in September. So excited for him

Sociology or Occupational therapy.

Geology or cartography or geography. I actually studied economics.

English

I should have done palaeontology or botany.

Instead I did psychology.

Would like to do history & archaeology for interest now!!!

Back then I did diagnostic radiography, had decent career and generally enjoy it.

Been enrolled to do a masters now for my job but I'm hankering to do something else entirely!!!

My degree was in politics & economics, which was the only subject I was ever sufficiently interested in or good at to study at a decent university. If I was choosing another degree to complement my own it would probably be contemporary history or, if just for interest, an an initio language course which includes a year somewhere interesting. Italian? Japanese?

I think I would study pure maths and specialise later, I would have definitely picked a different university, with hindsight I should have moved after first year. If it wasn’t maths I would have probably studied interpol, specifically post/colonialism

Would love to do public health but can't justify cost.
