Hello peeps,
I am a current student for the new UCL Arts and Sciences course (BASc). It is application time for prospective students to UCL and I noted a significant amount of questions regarding the BASc (our abbr for the course), so I thought I would create a little thread to answer any and all questions you might have about the course.
The course itself is pretty radically allowing you free choice of most modules at UCL. An example of this is me, I am doing the Science & Engineering pathway so my modules include Physics, Engineering and Maths. Plus I am doing a societies pathway so my minor includes Law (though I hope to do Geography next year). Another person I know does English, Spanish and French literature with Physics. It does give you a wide selection which you can specialise into in your 2nd and 3rd years. Plus there are the core courses which cover wide interdisciplinary fields such as Epistemology (super-concepts, censorship), Quantitative methods, research methods etc. Some of the lessons are taught in a completely new way to what has been done before, just google 'flipped lectures' if you're curious.
Furthermore being the flagship degree we have strong support from the university with us being given the biggest and most well furbished common room at UCL, and a very committed and dedicated staff to support us and the degree.
So if you have questions (you may not) just post and I will try my best to answer ^_^
