haha thats a darn shame. and to be honest, I'm the same aha(Original post by SophieSmall)
Nope already completed 2 years of student finance, started my 3rd year of student finance this year. And I don't really want to start a fresh anyway. Of all the courses this is the one that best fits my interests. I'm just unfortunate unmotivated and not passionate...depression will do that to you haha.

how did you find the course itself? although i don't think thats a route I'll be taking.
ah right, hopefully so aha
The only thing I didn't like about it was the over reliance on group course work. It was used as a way to bring the overall grades of the course up, but undoubtedly would have dragged down the grade of the best students pulling up the ones who couldn't really be bothered. Just made it all much more work - there was always someone who didn't do their bit, and you had to do it for them or you'd all suffer.
The actual subject was really interesting to me and it has served me very well in the work place since. -

For me personally yes, but then again I've always loved chemistry and knew I'd study it at Uni since primary school. Other people end up hating it even more because it does get a lot harder. -

Did International Politics and Strategic Studies at Aberystwyth 2003-2006. Chose solely because I saw it on University Challenge and loved the sound of it
Pros: Amazing course, with world renowned lecturers in the field, lived in a beautiful town on the seafront and (surprisingly) great bars and underground EDM scene
Cons (or more accurately regrets): i would say this to anyone starting or thinking about uni, join everything and follow through, get into sports, even if you aren't sporty i.e. Ultimate Frisbee or Extreme Ironing. I didn't take this advice and it is my one sole regret.
weighing up your pros and cons, your pros win by a long shot. lucky you -

Yeah, for you I wouldn't recommend it - you can find something more appropriate to your subjects. However, I did enjoy the course. I was running my own marketing agency at the time, so I could put what I learnt into practice straight away and it worked.

I'm currently in sixth form, year 12, haven't a clue what to study in uni (taking physics maths chemistry and french now) and I've not found any questions asking what other people studied so i thought id give it a shot
if you could tell me what you studied, what you enjoyed/didnt enjoy, contact/non contact hours, and any other funky jazz id be really interested to hear
cheers
I studied Maths, Further Maths, Chemistry, Business Studies, and Computing at Sixth form.
I then studied BSc Mathematics at the University of Exeter.
I would say if you don't have any clue what you want to do as a career then Maths is a good idea as it's a well respected degree which can help you in many careers
I had around 12 hours of lectures a week, and a fair amount of coursework. -
