Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

When applying for university places, how wide were your choices?

I haven't applied yet but deciding between applying for Psychology everywhere or: PPP, Psychology and Philosophy, Psych with cognitive science, Combined Social Sciences, and Psychology. Five different course titles, but effectively all psychology with philosophy (ish) except the last one which is just pure psychology.

Mine were pretty much the same area:
2 x English
2 x English literature
1 x English language & literature

Of course, no two courses were the same so in that respect they were all quite broad.

You have to choose what subject you're going to study at university eventually. You might as well make the decision before you apply to the universities, since it will make the whole application process a lot simpler for you. Hence it's generally prudent to apply for the same course (or similar courses) at five different universities, if possible.

Mines all had the word computer in them but I applied to combination degrees with things like Computing with Geography and Computer Science and Philosophy.

Mine were all in exactly the same subject. I think you'd have a job writing a good personal statement if they aren't reasonably closely related. That said the personal statement isn't that vital, so if for some reason you really want to apply for completely different subjects, you probably could without any major problems.
