Most versatile degree?

Of course they do not!

Of course you need an accredited engineering degree to become chartered. Don't assume I know less than you may think of me. I'm not stupid.

The fact is, doing Physics will not prevent you from going into Engineering (that doesn't necessarily mean being chartered). If I recall correctly, there are chartered engineers out there who already hold a BSc in Physics.

PPE seems versatile. You could go into teaching, law, finance, journalism, even medicine apparently(so I've heard)

There's something called doing two undergraduate degrees.

The fact is with Physics you *can* go into Engineering. Sure it may not allow you to become Chartered, but if you wanted Chartership, you would've done Engineering in the first place. Same principle with being a doctor - you would've done Medicine in the first place.

Oh dear.

However, it will serve as great preparation to do the MEng as a second degree, so it's not like you would have wasted those 3-4 years doing Physics.

But an MEng Engineering graduate wanting to do a PhD in an area in Pure Mathematics (not applied)?

All those pages and no-one has mentionned languages…? Surprising.

Just because it's your degree...

Just because it's my degree doesn't mean it's not versatile. Yes it's mainly Arts and Humanities-based, but it opens doors to a wide range of jobs, and it deserves to be mentionned in this thread. I didn't realise I'd offend you so badly you'd neg me for making such a statement. Or maybe you neg everyone mentionning their degree if it's not Engineering?

Language degrees are a combination of history, linguistics, languages, politics, arts, literature, and they're easily combined with shedloads of other things like Economics or even Biochemistry. If that's not versatile, I don't know what is. And as for what you can end up doing with a language degree, people have became civil servants, MI-5/6 people, worked in business and trade, ended up lawyers, journalists, teachers, and all that because a language degrees allow you a hell of a lot of flexibility to arrange it as you wish and make the most of your time at uni.

Sorry if that doesn't match your definition of versatility, but it's time you learn to look a word up in the dictionary.

Im sure being able to say apple in french is versatile.

60% of graduate entry careers don't require a degree in any specific discipline, so you could argue that any degree is as versatile as any other, if you wanted to.

2/10.
