PPE v SPS

Oxford University PPE 'the only way god can learn something new'.

no i dont. i m comparing eco at cambridge against eco and man at oxford. it is like comparing ppe with sps, ppe being economics at cambridge

Do you think he'd mention Dawkins in his PS?

But if God were to study for a degree, he would deffo choose PPE at Oxford, followd by post graduate Medicine.

That's impossible for anyone to do because before you go into postgraduate medicine you have to have 5 years (I think) pre-clinical medicine, sometimes with a BSc intercalated into it. So, e.g. if you was to do PPE, you would have to apply for undergraduate medicine before going into postgraduate medicine as PPE and medicine are two different disciplines.

There is nothing a PPE graduate cannot do! How dare you question it.

"Studying the philosophy part of PPE will finally allow me to find the arguments needed to prove my existence to people such as Dawkins."

Sounds like it could be turned into a very strong PS. As long as he has the common sense not to apply to New College, he should be fine, I think. Although I suppose he'd be more likely to apply to Harris Manchester anyway, seeing as he's about as mature as it gets... (And the obvious choices Christ Church, Jesus, Trinity and Corpus are of course ruled out, since people would suspect nepotism if he were admitted to any of those colleges).

Why not New College? What's wrong with it?

Also, what is nepotism?

Also, what is nepotism?

Never mind...

Harris Manchester is indeed the obvious one for someone so mature. However, I think god would want a more prestigious college. Magdalen is probably out too considering the rumours of his son's involvement with its namesake.

Maybe Pembroke, that's a pretty neutral non-religiously named one.

Surely, if you know how society works you can tell people how to better work it?
And you have to know how society works to be able to tell people how to work it?

What would he need prestige for, though? It could hardly make him feel any more important... He might like Wadham, though, because it was founded for the poor, and he's generally quite fond of the poor, I believe - then again that's an argument in Pembroke's favour as well, I suppose. Hmm. I foresee a tricky choice and a "hlp me find teh right college plz!!!" thread in the Oxford forum.

I reckon God would love Pembroke, coz it's next to the rock church
