Woo nice! :biggrin: Do you do more French than Politics, or is it an equal split?
It depends on the Uni, some offer courses which are more weighted towards one or the other. I wanted a course with an equal split, so that's what all the ones that I am applying to have :smile: What do you want to do?

Economics and Geography at UCL. Just found out that this degree is extremely difficult and hardly anyone gets a first. There goes my hopes of getting onto a top Master's programme :biggrin: Then again, I do like a challenge :colone:

What are you reading?

I guess it's an unusual combination in the sense that not a lot of uni's offer it, but (human) geography and economics overlap in so many areas. In fact, there's even a field called economic geography.

English and Psychology - now that's an unusual combination! Good luck with your application :smile:
English Literature and History. :biggrin:

I was thinking earlier, does doing a joint give you an advantage or not? I mean, it must be harder to persuade two admission officers from two different subjects, rather than just the standard one...

I'm really not sure - probably Sussex, or in fact Lancaster. In a way I just want to go to all of them! That sounds good :smile:
