What are you studying/planning to study at university and why

[Shar]

did you choose that course?

[Matthew]

Something like accounting and finance because it seems like a good degree to get into the job that I want :)

Hoping to get into LSE- although its a couple of years away for me yet!

[FlyingJesus]

Starting my fashion design degree in september, massively exciting for me :D it's something that really appeals to me as a general passion as well as a challenge - most things in life I've found just sort of come to me (academically in particular) so it's much more interesting to me to get involved in something creative where there isn't a straight cut wrong and right

Also it'll be FABULOUS

[Jarkie]

BSc (Hons) in Criminology and forensics studies.

Hoping to become a police officer/ Forensic officer.

[lawrawrrr]

English Literature and Creative Writing


because I've always had a passion for books and writing, and want to be an English teacher!

[smithy1997]

Paramedic Science - Being a Paramedic is something I wish to pursue as a career in life.

[Enrq]

I would like to study journalism, but I think it's a bit difficult altough I didn't see what do I have to study for it xD

[Robbie]

Computer Science. I love software development, I got started at a young age and I definitely want to develop my skills and take it further. Add to that my love for all things computing (proud nerd! :P) and I decided it's something I really want to do.

I actually got PaulMacC; to choose Computer Science - he was originally going to choose Games Development but Computer Science is a far better degree - you're not tied down to just the one specific field of computing/development as you would be with something like Games Development.

[smithy1997]

Or I would like to be a teacher? Or a chef :)

[Enrq]

Or I would like to be a teacher? Or a chef :)
I wanted to be a chef too, and a English teacher, but my parents said it was very expensive D:

[edible]

I've done a degree and a masters, both related to languages :)

All paid for by my employee!

[FlyingJesus]

Are you sure you don't mean employer :P thinking English wasn't one of the languages involved

[edible]

I was going to edit and say thank God you didn't quote but I'll just grimace

Pfft, English! Maybe it should have been but it wasn't

[smithy1997]

Aww well go for what you want and what you want to achieve in life. It's not just about the cosy because you will probably get It back once qualifying

[Kipp]

Going to study Retail Management at the University of Brighton :) Choose this course as I'm already in retail and it would be great to learn more about retail.

[Sharon]

Four years away but I'm thinking criminal law, wanted this for the past 4/5 years and I'm pretty sure I won't change my mind.

[Foregetfuhl]

I'm studying Law at University at the moment, going into my 3rd year in September :) I chose to do it as I have always had a passion for the legal system and helping others in that sense. Going to hopefully become a solicitor dealing with child law cases and divorce and wills etc.

[Kardan]

Going into my second year of Mathematics in October, I've always been good at Mathematics and I've always enjoyed it :) Ever since I was little I've wanted to be a teacher, and that's obviously still on course - but if possible I'd like to go into F1, quite a few people from my course and university are in F1 at the moment, so I'd like to follow :)

[LiquidLuck.]

Something to do with languages :P I'm good at it. Probably translator. I'd love to work in the UN.

[Catchetat]

hopefully progress to my 4th yr of medicine

[A.Justice]

O plan to major in some type of science(Biology, Chemistry or astronomy) and Minor in Computer science (Hopefully Java)

[wixard]

i'm actually quite surprised you're doing that! in a good way :P



um im doing anthropology and social psychology.

always thought there's more to life than the UK (never felt i fit in here anyway) and i'm increasingly starting to dislike the culture. i like to compare it to other cultures and see the difference between qualities of education/health etc in other countries and why that is (specifically looking at religious/political/moral beliefs and institutions). anthropology also looks at human evolution and how our instincts have involved in to modern life!!!
i know.. boring.. :(

I think it's pretty interesting. I was thinking of doing social anthropology but changed my mind

[Andys]

Planning to continue on from my college course of Music and study it at University in a years time. I'm going to do the degree at the college where I'm at now as my lecturers teach degree students also, and then go to do a top-up year after, as it is only a foundation degree.

what are you doing?

I did a module on anthropology. so long as you dont end up like the early white anthropologists trying to convert them to the "right way" of living (:P) it is quite interesting.

September I'll be starting my final year of a theology + education studies degree. I like studying people and why they behave the way they do and religion is often a reflection of a society (whether its rebelling against it or accomodating) and education is just a system that we trust our children to be in and grow up into civilised adults so I like exploring that system.

[Sloths]

Applying to Graphic Design, the entire like course outline and all that just makes me excited it's what I love to do so would love to make a career of it pretty much :3

[Pegle]

I'm thinking of doing Law, I was told it was a good degree for getting a general job but I'm not sure. I may do that or Computer Science, or maybe a Language degree, still got 4 years until I need to decide :P

[MKR&*42]

Not sure I'll even go to university haha. If I did, I'd probably study comparative psychology (if I still found psychology interesting after A level) and probably a 'type' of philosophy (if I even meet the requirements to do it at A level fgs).

[LiquidLuck.]

I'm on my last year of high school right now, going to university next year, at the age of 17, so I honestly don't feel completely ready for it, my friends are like one and two years older than me, so it'll be pretty weird. xD

I''ll go either to translation course or communications, something to do with either one of those.

[::PLYER::]

Hopefully i'll be doing Chemical Engineering in september, still waiting for my A-level results though. I'm pretty confident I aced my maths and chemistry but really nervous with biology result. :'(

[Dexter2000i]

University of Uwic in Cardiff, Sports Studies! - Opens up many jobs related to sport!

[Samantha$]

...because i love english and creative writing

great reason, love it!

[Hiding]

Maybe Computer Science. I have wanted to be involved with computers since I was little. Plus I want to work in the FBI maybe I will do cyber security in FBI.

[Catchy]

Either nursing or midwifery still haven't decided which yet though eeeeek only got till sept to decide!!

[Amberr]

I'm thinking along the lines of doing a midwifery degree but I'm not completely sure yet.

[Mentor]

Anyone here heading of to Kent this year?

[beth]

Anyone here heading of to Kent this year?

i studied at kent for my freshers year, brilliant place ;) enjoy.

but i'm extremely happy because via adjustment (the opposite of clearing) i managed to secure a place on a course at a drama school that i thought was out of reach.

now studying community and applied theatre at the birmingham school of acting and i actually cannot wait.

Well done Bethie :)

[Mark]

I'd like to study Scots Law or Law and Business, haven't fully made my mind up yet.

[Catchy]

I'm thinking along the lines of doing a midwifery degree but I'm not completely sure yet.

I'm still stuck between Midwifery and Nursing at the moment Amber but every midwife who I've spoke to on the maternity ward where I volunteer has said if they could do it again they'd deffo train as a Nurse first because it's a lot broader and you can go into a lot of other things with it. Then after your nursing if you wanted to do Midwifery it's only an 18 month short course where as, if you were a Midwife wanting to do nursing I think you have to do the whole three years again.

Anyways on topic, as I said above it's either out of nursing or midwifery but like Amber said I'm still not completely sure. I have a couple of weeks to decide so I'm sure I will be okay. Oh and I'm planning on doing my masters after my degree.

[j0rd]

ICT at Trinity, just always been interested in computing from a young age.

WOO go bethie :D :D very impressed xx

didn't get into uni but I'm sort of reconsidering what course I want to do
I've always been drawn to nursing but I'm not sure because my previous course (criminology and sociology) is tres interesante too. blargh decisions decisions

Try comparing them. With nursing you won't have to pay the fees, it may be a more rewarding career and you'll have more job opportunities by the end of the course if not a guaranteed one at the hospitals you harru out placements in. You may need some work experience though and A level in biological or social science. Consider the negative aspects of nursing too and then compare all factors to criminology and sociology

[Cerys]

I have ageees to go till I need to choose my university stuff.
All I know is that I will go there, and I might study the sort of stuff you need to work in the police.. though from what I've read up on, you don't need many qualifications.. so if that's the case I'll study some random fun stuff at uni xD

-

Tbh I change idea of what I want to be when I'm older every few weeks, so me wanting to study law etc will probably not happen xP

[Wig44.]

Got in to the university of manchester to sudy physics starting this september, can't wait.

[karter]

i'll try to get in the london school of economics for bsc in economic history, i really doubt i will get in though

otherwise i'll do writing or journalism, any of those two, really.

[Charz777]

Mathematics - it was the only subject out of the ones I enjoyed that I can actually do well in :P

[PaulMacC]

Computer Science.
I want to make video games or software one day. I'm not sure right now which but the degree let's me explore a lot of options :-)

[Demi]

PGCE, Teaching (Specifically ICT)...
Postgraduate.
