I saw on the website that there were a list of the most competitive subjects in Edinburgh, but I lost the link and can anyone give me some clue on which subjects were the most subscribed to last year?
Thanks,

PS anyone know how competitive Music in Edinburgh is?

Medicine is supposedly quite popular. I applied there, it seemed to be a good course for music.

Thanks, I had a feeling those were the competitive subjects, but there was a link on the website, which said that Philosophy and Archeology were amongst the most popular subjects, which I found surprising.

Psychology is meant to be very competitive at Edinburgh too. I've forgotten the figures for the applicants-places ratio but a lot of people are disappointed every year.

I honestly dont know about the course at edinburgh , but i would assume the job prospects are good as with any maths related course, also the maths department at Edinburgh is in the top 11 in the country so that will help you as well. Maybe you should go to an open day and ask about the course structure.
Good luck! :top:
