I originally applied for FCH but got an offer for LibArts. My FCH was for Ancient History and Philosophy, so I would major in one of those (unless I can major in two...do either of you know this? :s-smilie:

)

Can we take 30 credits of our own choice on top of the libarts modules in first year, or did I imagine reading that somewhere? I think that will make the decision for me! If it's 120 overall, then I guess that makes sense...

Oh, and what do you think you'll do in 2nd year, think tank or work experience?

Im going to major in either politics or philosophy and I'll probably do the think tank in the second year can't stand the idea of staying stuck in an office. Have any of you been to the offer holding visit day?

yup, I was leaning towards think tank too - looks pretty interesting and I agree, the work experience thing would be useful, but quite dire!

I only heard yesterday, and I'm going to try to make it to the one next weds, but I live 6/7 odd hours away so it'll be tough haha! train tickets are about £300 *cringe* but hopefully I'll manage to get my dad to drive me xD

I really want to go, since I feel like I know barely anything about the course, since I didn't originally apply for it!

But the Liberal arts degree looks really cool! I think it actually suits me better....does any one know about visit days? I would like to major in english i think :smile:

Ah, well perhaps I'll see you there! :smile:

it'll be interesting to see how many people are there - I think it'll be a small group altogether!

I'm glad someone else is too! I'm going to reserve my final judgement until I've seen both this and my Newcastle combined honours offer at the offer holder days :smile:

Have you got the offer letter via email yet? That's where the link for the open days was, but it's next Wednesday and I think it's the last one! :O I'm annoyed it's such short notice >.>

but I agree, liberal arts probably does suit me well too :smile:

I'm going to ring up tomorrow to get more info on course structure and whether I can double major (fingers crossed!) but otherwise I have no idea which I would choose to major in!

Yep I booked my places about two months ago chose march because the weather would be at its best. Apparently it would be about 13 degrees

haha, well hopefully we're not the only ones who are going, otherwise the entire degree will be pretty interesting :P especially the think tanks in 'small groups'...we may be one small group all together O_O

I'm sure there are people other than those on this forum - otherwise they wouldn't even run it, would they?

Haha of course just had the assumption that it was not going to be a degree with a large enrolment
BTW what accommodation are you thinking of - its confusing me at the moment

yeah, I'm going to punt a guess at max 30-40 people, probably less!

I haven't even looked yet, since I haven't firmed yet :/ but I'm sure it'll confuse/stress me out when I get around to it! it seems really complicated...

I think we can go on a tour of the accommodation on weds though?

Yep there's a accommodation and campus tour and some two hour talk about lib arts

Yup lib arts is at 2 but you don't need to book the accommodation tour in advance but not too sire on that because the website said its available to demand but you have to book it on the day :/

considering this version hasn't ever been taught before, those comments have little/nothing to do with the course we're talking about here. And they're all from america. But thanks for that -.-
