EVERYTHING haha - I absoutely suck at mechanics... G482 is fine tho


Oh ok, I do AQA - I find the particles, quantum phenomena, waves and materials fine, but the electricity and mechanics is really hard :frown:

This dilemma has been going on for a while now hasn't it
Yeah, I thought I'd give it some time to naturally resolve itself. Evidently it hasn't :P

I'd suggest doing PPE at Oxford, simply because it's Oxford. The implications that alone has on career prospects is amazing. Also, I'm sure the courses are similar enough that it wouldn't make much difference. Unless you want to be in the city, go Oxford.

English =/= Sociology =/= ICT =/= French

love them all so there's not much difficulty

The degree has produced a huge amount of UK/international politicians and a couple Prime Ministers.


On top of that, it's seen as the 'poster child' course for Oxford in that elite employers sometimes give preference to PPE grads (obviously a minority of them).


LSE's course has nowhere near the same clout.

Classics (easiest)
English Literature
Biology



Chemistry (by far the hardest, the other three are kind of equal!)

Thing is LSE doesn't seem to have any worse prospects, the course is more interesting (much more applied phil and econ with a greater degree of mathematical modelling and no politics), and London is really alluring. I think it's best for me, but rejecting Oxford is not a decision that can be made with light heartedly.

Yeah :colondollar: Once you know the rules it's just applying them, and you know exactly what the exam questions are asking for!

In Bio you can give a factually correct answer to the question, but then get marked wrong because they want a 'different right answer'. You literally get exam papers with identical questions but different answers!

And Chemistry is just plain hard haha
