Yeah me either. I wanted something like straight world history or history combined with english but archaeology does seem like fun. I'm looking to be a teacher so I need something that more broad.


Straight history covers too much for my liking. Not that I wouldn't take any history over no history, but still. I prefer the ancient stuff over modern history. And especially over American history. Haha.

haha yeah american history is especially boring. I've just finished studying European, Asian and South American History until around the 16th century and I really enjoyed that. I was looking for something like that

At least I'm not the only one. I like European history a lot, of course. I don't know a whole lot about South American or Asian history.

It's pretty interesting. Especially when we get into talking about the Mongols or the Mayans :smile:
I'm favouring maths over comp sci here, their department was so good and they're basically the best in the country for maths too :tongue:

Well done! I really want to study History at Warwick, just not sure how sound my AS results are in comparison to everyone else. Hopefully it will be AAA predictions, and then i'll keep my fingers crossed :wink:
