University courses

Hey guys I'm currently trying to decide what university courses I want to apply to and am a little stuck.

I love so many subjects that it's hard to decide what I want to do. Could anyone who's studied history and politics or psychology and history degrees give me a little insight into how they found their degree

Pros and cons would be super helpfully or just your overall experience!!! :smile:

I did have a look at a PPE degree, but economics just didn't seem for me! But I'll have a look at chat gbt and see if it can help me a little. Thank you.

Some people take the economics modules in first year and then drop economics afterwards.

Good luck

Just be aware that with any joint-subject degree you will have to continually compromise on the unit choices you can make - you will only be doing half-a-degree in each subject, and there will be all sorts of restrictions because of pre-requisites and timetable clashes. This can often be very frustrating!

The great thing about all History degrees is the breadth of topics and eras you can study across just one course. Look at the detailed info about the units available at each Uni - 'course structure' or 'module information'- some examples :
History (BA) - Undergraduate, University of York
History BA | Royal Holloway, University of London
History BA | Undergraduate study | The University of Sheffield
History BA - University of Birmingham
