Put lancaster as my firm :biggrin: doing maths


I plan to firm for Maths, too! Visiting on the 10th of March just to double-confirm that it's the best place for me to go though.

Are you going to any visit days?

Don't worry. It tends to be quite a big course. :smile: Plus, in the first year, you'll meet people with other majors as history is quite a popular minor course. :smile:

Thanks!

Applied for English Lit, I can't decide between Newcastle and Lancaster. I know Newc obviously has the better night life, but Lanc is regarded as a better uni? And Lanc's accommodation is off the scale!

Anybody else firming Lancaster for English related degrees?
And who else is thinking of County College?

Just a quick question to anybody who's at Lancaster already, with a major in English Lit, would I be able to do first year minors in say English Lang, Law, History or French? Or is Law one of those that you can't minor?
And are you able to carry on minor studies after the first year?

Thanks!

You should definitely be able to minor in History and English Lang. Law used to offer a minor, which was offered on the condition that you couldn't then switch to a Law major - I don't know if that is still the case. :smile: Regarding French, you just need to meet the entry requirements I believe.
You should be able to keep up a minor subject. In arts subjects, often you need 6 of the 8 units to be in your major. That means you can take up to one minor subject module in second and in third year. :smile:
Eg, a friend of mine did a 6:2 split. Two English lit modules and six history.
Eg, I did a 7:1 split. One politics module and seven history. :smile:

I'd certainly like to. My only problem with Lancaster, is that it'd be the most expensive place for me to study out of my choices.

I think you've made a great choice.


Yeh it is expensive :/ but its good :smile:

Ah yes, I went to the one in September and am going to the subject specific one next weekend. What was it like? When did they send information out? Because I haven't heard anything yet despite applying for the open day place months ago...
I just firmed for Mathematics G100 :smile:

Well I was thinking Pendle standard (non-ensuite), or Furness standard (non-ensuite) - basically the cheapest ones possible. Yeah I was originally intending to go to St Andrews, but went up to the subject open day mid-Feb and it totally convinced me.

Ahh cool, where are you from? I live in Birmingham, I'm travelling up to the subject open day on the 10th March. I was going to wait until after this day to firm it, but today in a moment of happy madness I just thought "Ha I'll firm it" and did it. What's your insurance?

Yes I did, were you there too?
What are some thoughts on getting a part time job in Lancaster? In my opinion it seems a bit isolated to land a job in Lancaster? Not that I hate Lancaster since the Campus is great.
