University of Edinburgh Offers Holders Day

Hi!
I was just wondering is anyone else going to the Edinburgh offers holders day on the 23rd of April, same as me? I have gotten an unconditional for English and Philosophy and was wondering if there was anyone doing the same course as me or similar courses?
Thank you

I got a conditional for theology but I'm hoping to change to philosophy+ theology 🙏

Oh wow congrats!! That’s so exciting! The offers holders day showed the philosophy course to be so interesting! I hope you are able to change to the dual course! It’ll be great!

Yeahhh I hope so
I heard they focus on philosophy of language and mind which seems rly interesting
What sexts of philosophy interest U? And how come U picked English and philosophy?

At the open day they did a taster session on Philosophy of time travel and teleportation! It seemed so interesting! I chose to do English and philosophy because philosophy has always interested me, and I chose English also because I’ve done English all throughout school, and I recently did Advanced Higher English in my 6th year and it was so interesting and really inspired me to do it at uni! What about you, what made you choose theology?

Philosophy of time travel and teleportation??? Never knew they offered that, sounds super interesting!
I hope the joint honours course goes well for you 👊
I picked theology mainly cuz I feel religion is such a big part of society. I mainly look into whether the claims of religions (mostly Christianity) are true. But also the history and 'lore' withing religions I find fascinating.
Combining it with philosophy makes it more interesting, looking at religions from a philosophical angle opens debate even further which I enjoy a lot.

I’m studying English literature

Wow that’s so great to hear! Are you only doing English or are you doing a dual course? What are you most excited about the English course?

I’m just doing English literature, however I’m hoping that if I choose psychology as an elective for first and second year I can make it a joint degree ☺️

Wow I hope you are able to! Psychology is so interesting!

Yeah I did higher psychology this year and quite enjoyed it, I went to Edinburgh uni summer school last year and did English and philosophy but decided I really didn’t like philosophy haha

Wow I did higher psych this year too hahaha! I’ve never done philosophy in school but it’s always interested me so I’m excited for it at uoe but I’m not sure what to expect, I’ll just have to wait and see!

My school never offered philosophy as a subject but when I did it at the summer school I didn’t like it as it was very long discussions that seemed to never end and never had an answer

Yeah the closest thing I’ve done to philosophy is higher RMPS which I quite liked, I’ll have to wait and see if I like the subject at uni level but if I don’t I can always just hopefully switch to only English lit!

Yeah there is always that, where are you from ?

I’m from Arbroath, it’s just a bit north from Dundee! What about you!

I’m from Fort William, which is in the Scottish highlands

Wow! Have you done anything for your accommodation yet? I’m trying to sort mines right now hahaha
