    Modern History is fabulous. The teaching is fantastic and I hear it's a really good course.

    Anyone applying for Psychology?

    How would you, biased misleading dogs that you are, rate St. Andrews for economics?

    Also is there PPE or anything similar? Cheers.

    Economics is rated very highly I think and it's one of the most competitive subjects (after IR and medicine, I think).

    Nope, St Andrews doesn't do PPE. You could do joint honours in philosophy and economics though.

    Make sure you visit the German forum as well, we have a nice bunch of people there http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=719291
    At least one's applying for St A's as well (In case you whom I mean read this, now don't say you're not sure yet ). Where else are you applying?
    Thank you for the link, I will definitely check this out! I was thinking about Cambridge earlier but I am not sure because of the fees. I am also interested in Edinburgh.

    Hi Can't wait to visit and apply to St Andrews. Wanting to do French and other languages which I've not decided on yet but probably Spanish and German. I got AABBC in my Highers, do you think that's good enough for StA? :/ The entry requirements state AABB but I don't know... Might be getting one of those Bs changed to an A as well!

    Hey Probably applying for German and IR, but not sure because of the competition: though I know my ps, when finished, could be kind of good (at least I hope; because I've had some international experiences and such) I have no idea for my grades as in France we don't get predictions... :/ What's the deal with this third subject thing anyway ? Does it mean I could take, for example, an History module as well ?

    Any idea how competitive Geology is here? Is there a good chance of getting in with a AAABB/AAAAB?(personal statement and other factors aside.)

    Thanks
