Rubbish Degrees (The definitive list)

It's not an easy subject at all, and is one of the best degrees if you want to cover all the key skill areas.

Such as making stuff up, misappropriate use of statistics and making poor data look good - all very useful skills in the job market.

Things are no more 'made up' than in chemistry...lots of theories have been proved wrong or right in chemistry, just as in psychology.

Media Studies , film, theatre, etc

Psyhcology

Politics

Business Studies , Management, etc.




There are plenty of other ones , add your own

They are rubbish for jobs and such and such


Don't agree , bring it on

Ok another comparison, i know a 2-1 graduate of Business studies at Reading University (not a bad uni) who is now working for an insurance firm not as a manager just as a telesales consultant.... Yea real good job if u ask me.

It's kinda telling (about the subject) that Bradford is number 2/3 for politics....

Thing is, I've never actually said that Politics isn't a valid subject anyway. I said that i didn't know much about what it involved and that I didn't know any politicians who'd done politics, which you have told me about. I was thinking more of straight politics btw rather than PPE and the like. Infact I recall saying that it would be 'fine' doing politics at a redbrick

Hmm interesting logic.... Using your logic, nobody's opinion on here about ANYTHING is credible therefore they should all what? they should all be ignored?

btw thanks for link. I quote...

These same critics claim media studies is an academic cul de sac which churns out unemployable graduates. A recent report by the Institute of Directors, voicing its concern that universities are failing British businesses, put the foot in too, saying "We need more plumbers and fewer media studies graduates."

Despite the snobbery surrounding media studies degrees, 75% of their graduates are employed within six months of leaving university says the CSU, the higher education careers service. But only two in five of those who do find work within six months are working in journalism, advertising or marketing.


I wonder where they are getting jobs if not in the media?? It's all very well being employed but if it's to stack shelves, well was the degree worth it? On the other hand, if it's as a trader in a city bank, then of course it was.....

Didn't say you were taking the piss, i said i do! I think we are the only brave ones, yes

Well, i think i'll just turn out obnoxious, being a historian and all I am off to bed too, can't believe i stayed on here so late

I single it out because I am likely to meet with a lot of opposition if I say the same sorts of things about history. Media is trivial (THAT'S why I think it's pointless) - it is part of a subject, not one in its own right. If you are interested by it - do English.
