Can you apply for two different courses at the same Uni?

10

Just wondering really because I have seen a certain Uni that has 8 courses that I like the sound of! It's hard because there isn't one certain course that I want to do (eg. Law or Maths). So could I apply for, for example, Maths AND Physics at Bath? Thanks for any help :smile:

Yes you can - *however* the uni will be able to see the choices you've made at their uni. This shouldn't be a problem but some of the more strict unis may see this as a lack of commitment to one subject etc - also bear in mind the difficulty of writing a personal statement to lots of unrelated subjects!

Luckily they're all pretty related so hopefully it shouldn't be a problem :smile:

They're all to do with electronics/engineering/computers. Obviously I will narrow the courses down once I get my results and know what I'm really good at etc. Thanks for your help!

No more advice?
Has anyone actually done this before?

Yeah, my mate did it. We both applied for Staffordshire university and got accepted. He applied for about 3 different courses there (all with music technology and another subject attatched) and he was accepted onto all of them, so it shouldn't be a problem. But bear in mind once you're accepted into the uni you can always change your course, suppose that's more hastle, but saves you wasting a university offer.

Umm I believe the Uni's will not be able to see the choices, unsure whwere you heard that from je$$ica.

Also, sometimes you have to keep it related - applying for Law and Maths - two extremely different courses - having 1 personal statement - is not going to look good. Law being competitive as it is, you cannot just cannot (if you want to go to a decent uni) mix your personal statement with other courses.

I just used Law and Maths as an example, it's not what I actually want to do! I was just getting across that there are people who are, by now, dead set on what they want to do at Uni eg. Law :smile:

you may aswelll just apply for the course you want to do, chances are that if you get accepted for one you`ll get accepted for the others, especially as they are related

why dont you just apply to the course you want, if you don't get the grades maybe they will offer you a place on an alternative, instead of applying to all the different ones at the same uni.

my 2 cents

I've done it this year, and I applied to two closely related subjects, but in different area's at the uni (which I found really strange) which were Biological Sciences and Biology. As a result there were completely different open days, completely different people to talk to and the subjects which seemed closely related really ended up totally different!
I've now put them both as firm (bio sciences) and insurance (bio) so I'll tell you how that goes. I didnt have a problem with anyone realising I had applied for both courses!
