Science students, if you had to apply for art course which would you choose?

I would choose linguistics or philosophy :tongue:

Oriental Studies with linguistics modules 👍🏼

If he can overcome his fear of library and actually get in.... :tongue:

btw, thought your school started today? What are you doing here???

It was just an induction day, it was a late start. I was on the train at that time :wink:

I'd probably do best in Econ (if that's even an art) but I'd secretly like to do philosophy. Though there's something to be said for keeping it as a casual hobby...

Yeah I agree about philosophy lol
I had considered doing economics A level/IB before but oh well I have no knowledge about it tbh :tongue:

HSPS

But that's a little more humanities :tongue:

Yeah I meant including humanities :tongue:

I thought you'd say English literature though!

Not after my latest exams
That said, I need to ask my tutor if she read my paper and thinks it's worth a remark :erm:

HSPS seems really interesting and I did have a short phase a while ago when I wanted to do PPE at the other place :tongue:

I've never thought of doing humanities other than linguistics and archeology (a short phase of economics at some point). Certainly never politics for me haha :tongue:

I had enough of history at GCSE :awesome:

LOL I didn't even do it for GCSE that's how much I loved it.

I had to choose between Art or History, and I thought history would be more useful in life :tongue:

Yes, but it is incredibly mathematical at Cambridge

I think I would have actually enjoyed Econ at GCSE if it was in any way mathematical; at GCSE the CCEA Econ was literally all theory, it. was. horrible. :lol:

Plus, if you're not good at Art, then it's far to risky :wink:

Asian and Middle Eastern Studies

I'm pretty sure it's MML but Arabic, Mandarin and Japanese included. And some other ones

Yeah @vincrows I was in the library yesterday and I really really didn't like it

I would definitely do Japanese if I wasn't applying for Maths :tongue:

Art and music were actually my best subject until like 5 years ago believe it or not :lol:

But Idk I left the creative world by the time I started GCSE... I don't regret doing history GCSE though. I had zero history knowledge (which was embarrassing) but now I at least have GCSE level knowledge, and my English improved immensely through writing homework essays :lol:
