Give Me A Uni Course!

I labelled you lazy because that is how you come across by opening a thread, listing your A Levels and then saying 'what course should I do,' followed by a brief sentence on one course you've looked at previously and then nothing. It doesn't come across well, but I guess that's just me in my PMT mood. XD

I appreciate you're trying to look ahead, and I applaud it, but I stand by what I said - asking people to recommend courses based upon your A Levels is pointless. We don't know you. For example, you've said you've studied History at A Level; I could spend HOURS reeling off particular History courses at degree level, be they classics, ancient, modern, medieval, and even more specialist ones. But most of that is going to be a waste of my time and yours in looking through my recommendations because I don't know what you like. What aspects of history are you interested in? What periods? Do you want straight history, or would you prefer to consider pairing it with something else?

Or French for example. Did you take French A Level just because (and nothing wrong with that I hasten to add, languages will take you a long way these days), and have no desire to take it to degree level, or would it be something you would consider? Would you like to do a course that involves a year abroad, for example? Because if you did that would change your entire outlook for what courses to look at.

I know most people at 16 don't have firm career plans, but have you any inklings of what direction you might like to do once you leave education? Because if you do, researching into the sorts of degrees that lead into that field may be of some use to you.
