What did you study at University?

[FrannyandZooey]

A few of us have just discovered we all did philosophy - a connection we didn't realise we had.

Any more?

English

Maths

science and math

I did History (and got a first ). Can't remember a thing though...

English and then on to do an MBA. Is this really a point to these endless bits of paper!

First degree in fine arts, post graduate degrees in Economics, Multimedia and History. Now what do they have in common is the subject of my next degree

BSc(Hons) in Microbiology

bad choice no jobs up North had to go down South few jobs badly paid

now looking for a creer change

BA Economic and Social History (and did bits of Sociology and Women's Studies for my electives)
PGCE History

my sister did Philosophy - I looked at her exam papers once and was completely bemused by the questions

EllieCO - I did history too, and remember none of it! I think childbirth melts that part of the brain

Psychology and sociology. I'm doing an msc in psychology now with the OU

BSc Psychology and a bit of sociology for good measure.

Genetics and Microbiology....I learnt my philosophy in the university of life

BA in English and Arabic

Weird, if. When I did philosophy, there were maybe 3 or 4 other female philosophy students total, I think. We did have a few professors.

But then, our course had a mandatory advanced logic course, that wasn't just modus ponens etc, but was Godel's theorem etc, really hairy stuff. (Well, ok, it was only mandatory for honours, the basic N v ~N course was required for everyone, but both were actually pretty irrelevant to most of what we did in philosophy imo)

natural sciences, i specialised in experimental psychology in my final year.

WeaselMum where did you do economic and social history?

Theatre Studies and Dramatic Art. And no, it wasn't three years of pretending to be an acorn growing into an oak tree.

it was at Leeds Uni - IIRC when I was applying there were only about 8 places in the country which offered it - where did you study ledodgy?

History of Art

yes, fantastically useful

I studied in Liverpool uni I got into Leeds as well to study International relations but ended up choosing econ and soc hist in Liverpool as I needed to stay close to home because my mum was ill.
I think only a few places do/did it when I was in third year we emalgamated with straight History so I think ours was one of the last years who did it in Liverpool. Not that i've used my degree for much yet!

marymillington, when I was at uni, we called Art History the Mrs degree

That last post was in reply to Weaselmum btw in case any of you thought I was totally going off on a tangent!
