Which degree course shall i choose?

Unless you're absolutely besotted with both subjects OR the subjects are taught by a single department I would never recommend a combined course.

Isn't doing a joint degree double the work of single honours? Anyway, for econ, more than likely they'll still want maths A2.

No, it's always the same amount of work. I'm doing a joint degree in Film and Literature. The modules in the first year were:

1. Film
2. Literature
3. Philosophy
4. English Language

I failed module 3 and they're wondered why.

Ah right ok, I just have a few mates at uni, and they say the people who do joint honours seem to do double the work, and feel like they don't 'belong' to any department.

have you done a combined course then?

I did one for a semester and a half before switching to a single honours course mainly because of the very bad organisation and consideration given for students who were only taking 2/3 or 1/3 of the modules of the bog standard students.

My 2 best friends were also on with courses, one which was quite closely matched to his major who didn't have many problems apart from a few timetable clashes, the other which wasn't closely related who had no end of problems - his minor subject dragged his degree classification from a first to a mid 2i...he was expected to have the same depth and breadth of knowledge in his minor as people taking 3 times as many modules in that subject.

your uni does seem very dis-organised! Why offer a course if you cant cater for it
Other unis seem to have far better provision for combined courses

Really? how many combined courses at different unis have you done?

It's catered for very well - but only to the extent of modules slotting together - most students take a slightly different combination of modules and in a straight course they compliment each other, in a combined course you've always got that little bit less depth and breadth (unless as I say they're covered by a single department and so the modules from both subjects are designed to be complimentary - or you're devoted to both subjects and willing to put in a fair amount of extra time). Modules are in most circumstances supposed to be standalone but in reality the topics covered elsewhere will be important IF you want to get a good mark...managing to synthesise subjects which appear to be seperate on the surface is one of the best ways of getting marks equivalent to a first.

Do you think that's mor epossible if the subjects are closely linked? E.g. would economics and geography be easier to do than, say, economics and psychology?

ive never heard of an economics and pschology course

They're probably isn't one, I just made it up! Trying to find 2 unrelated subjects, that's all

What shall i doo-ooo-oo?

How about "none of the above" and instead try doing a degree that has an outside chance of giving you paid employment at the end of your studies?
