Outside subject(s) in 1st and 2nd year *post here with questions*

So I still haven't really decided what I might want to do for my new outside subject for 2nd year... I was thinking of History of Art, but recently I've been contemplating picking up a new language.

Now, I'll already be doing French 2 this year along with eng Lit 2, so I was wondering if anyone had picked up a new language on top of already doing one in either their first or second year, and how they got on. I was considering Italian, but possibly also German as I have done some German before when I was at school...

Thoughts? Would it be too much?

I did Spanish 1B in first year alongside doing Swedish from scratch. I didn't think the workload was a problem at all. I do English Lit too

Hi five for Eng Lit!

Fabulous; so did you do Swedish 1A, or one of the introductory courses or something? I was reading around on DRPS about Intro Italian or German, and both were saying places were reserved for like engineering/sciency students and those not in DELC (which I would assume I kind of am, being an Eng Lit-er and also doing French 2).

Did you/are you keep(ing) up one or both of the languages after first year?

Please help... I'm going into a massive panic....

I've constructed a possible timetable for my first year but each course I want to take has been given three time slots each week in the timetable. I'm assuming the timetable is just showing me when the lectures/tutorials could be and then my DoS will choose which one I actually go in, but I'm not sure. Please could someone put me on the right track ? I've got a feeling I'm wrong.

What courses? Some courses have several different lectures in a week, others have a selection of times to attend the same lecture and there are also some courses where you attend different lectures during the week depending on your chosen specialities.

I think mine might be the second one. It's for history, and then hopefully I can get Swedish as my outside subject (Scandinavian Studies). It's showing me 9 lectures a week and I think that may be too many for history. Thanks for your help .

Yep, that'll be all the various History lectures. Swedish shouldn't be a problem as all the "A" courses within Scandinavian Studies tend to run in the mid to late afternoon which generally avoids clashes.

I don't understand how you would have time to do more subjects than required for your main degree!

Is course X good or bad?

Look on the course reviewer here...

Am I the only one that is getting an error message with this link? It used to work for me...

It isn't working for me either. I had a quick google but all of the links give the same message.
