Many of you do not know what course to go for. The good news is that, worst case scenario, you can always transfer to something different. However, it is always better to get it right the first time. I chose Business & Management and I go through it extensively in this blog post. Similarly, I also decided to ask other students about their course and their experience with it.

I hope that the following videos will help you understand further about what you are getting into.

LAW

In this video, Anush gives you a reality check of what it actually means to study law: reading, reading and reading. If there is one thing I have learned by talking to my law friends, it’s that it is very hard to get a first. If you get a 2.1 in law, it is considered as good as a first. Too bad that the employers don’t always understand that.

PPE (Politics, Philosophy and Economics)

PPE is also a very hard degree. However, contrary to other courses, you have less opportunities to mix with other departments. For example: since I did Business & Management, I had the freedom to spend a quarter of my credits on a language course, from the language department. In PPE, most students think that they have more diversity since they have 3 different modules. This is not entirely true as you maxed out the opportunity to work with other departments, such as the language one.

ECONOMICS AND POLITICS

Most of the people that I know who do this course have a huge curiosity for politics and the current affairs. They spend a certain amount of their time catching up on the world’s news and reading the Economist. Accurate enough. This is the much harder version of the Business & Management course.

BUSINESS AND MANAGEMENT

I will not go through all the details in this section as I have written a huge blog post right here about my course. It goes into a lot of details.

Two years later, I made the video below about what I did right (and wrong) with my University degree. Since I did this 1 year after graduating, it really gives me a bird’s eye view on the situation.

You can also find below a Q&A session with some extra information in it.

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS

As much as I wanted to give you more information about the IR course, this is the only video I managed to compile. However I can add that my best friend did IR therefore I have witnessed him writing many essays for his course. If essays are not your forte, then IR is probably not the best course for you. Beware though: it’s not because you were bad at essays at school that you will automatically be bad at them in Uni!

MEDICAL SCIENCE

I must say I understood only half of what Gabriel was on about: too many technical words! But I am sure you will get it if medicine is what you are interested in!
