i'm gonna be straight to the point, i am going to study politics and philosophy (joint honours) and was wondering;

which is better in terms of reputation, and when i get a first, which will take me further career wise, out of sussex and birmingham?

thanks

Birmingham I'd assume.

I took a philosophy course as one of my choices and then switched to something else because I personally found it sh*t. I prefer politics because we still will cover philosophy but it will be along side a variety of other things to kep it interesting. Depends on the individual I suppose. I remember on this site before I started Uni, a few people were saying Politics is so boring but I really love it.

Regards to which has better reputation, a degree is a degree and in our current climate, both leave you with a huge debt and some still cannot get a job in maccy dees.

politics is f*ck*ng WACK at A-level

i'm sure it's better at uni tho

I wouldn't know about A-level and know what, maybe Politics at certain Universities is sh*t, but I love my lecturers. They are deep and are like tin openers, they open our minds up and get us thinking critically about lots of things.

World Politics is actually the best unit I've taken. Regardless of what course you take at uni, if it's an open unit and you're allowed to pick it - do.

[Corrigan]

YH that's what i hoped it would be like at A-level

but it wasn't

Bullshit.

When you're doing a subject like that, institution prestige is everything.

Not really to be honest. I still have access to government opportunities the same way anyone else would and that has nothing to do with University prestige. It's not what you know, it's who you know and that's all through networking.

[Corrigan]

that doesn't mean a degree is a degree tho dus it

i hear what your saying about networking etc, John Major didn't even go uni

[Dubby]

the degree is just the degree but there will be a difference in the quality of the education you receive and the people you have an opportunity to network with due to the place you're going

[Ashman]

I will leave you all to believe this. Just go and believe what the league tables are telling you.

[Angelo]

What university do you go to Ashman?

[Ashman]

University of Greenwich

[Trilliam]

Don't.
