Oxford PPP

Hi all! I recently got accepted by Oxford for the Psychology and Philosophy. I was just wondering if this is considered as a double degree course?

If by a double degree course you mean you get two degrees, no it's not. I don't think there is such a thing.

Medicine? You get a BA (upgraded to an honorary MA) after your third year and an MBBS after your sixth. I'm guessing it's something of an exception though. :p:

It's a 6 year course in which you do one after the other which is just a tiny bit different.

You don't really do them one after the other, but instead take a year out halfway through to get one degree while your other 5 years contribute to the other degree. But yeah, I appreciate it's very different to the format of most undergraduate degrees.
