The brewing and distilling course at Heriot-Watt is pretty popular, actually.

Being pretty into beer and whisky and already working part time brewing beer, I for one would certainly go for it. :biggrin:

I did actually seriously consider it alongside all my biochem options...before I had the thought that if I was actually qualified in brewing, my dad would hold me captive in his microbrewery forever. :eek:

Not surprised it's popular; it's the only place (I believe anyway-though there may be one other uni that does a post-grad qualification in brewing-although uni of sunderland also do some certificate/diploma qualifications) you can get a degree in brewing. It's a very sciency thing, is brewing, I'll have everyone know. :wink:

Plenty, I mean there are a load at UCL for example, there is stuff like "Slovak (with Czech) and East European Studies BA" - who the heck does that?
Most of the courses you get at clearing are really random subjects at random unis (not saying UCL is a random uni!).

But those are isolated to single universities, not everywhere does it.

Engineering is undersubscribed.

Personally, I wouldn't mind studying it. However, if I'm gonna study Slovak I would only do it in Slovakia. Brr, I shrug at the thought of only learning a language in class and then never getting use for it outside of class. Hence why I'm studying Eastern european studies and Polish in Poland :wink:

think most language courses send you on a year abroad. mate is doing russian as part of his course at ucl, and heading out there for a year next year.
