What University do you attend and what do you study?

University-

Swansea
After not getting the grades to get into Sheffield then going to UEA for a year and not liking my Course....... business mangament, what was I thinking was doing Economics at sheffield.

Subject-

Back on track with economics

Period-

First year of 3, yep and two year older that most of my fellow students.

Do you like what you're doing?-

Like the economics, just need to put more work into it. Its true, in life you get out what you put in.

Career Ideas-

Dunno, was going to ask you kind peple with some help with that one?
 
University
University of Cambridge

Subject
Mathematics

Period
Three year BA which I've done, and a one year Masters which I'm in the middle of.

Do you like what you're doing?
Love everything about it. Apart from the workload, maybe. And the Saturday lectures.

Career Ideas
PhD in Dynamical Systems either at Cam, Bristol or Warwick. No offers as yet, but then again I only just applied.
 
University
Southampton University

Subject
Information Technology in Organisations

Period
3 Years BSc - First year

Do you like what you're doing?
Love the university and social life, its brilliant. The work isnt too bad either, but theres a lot of teamwork, which i suppose is great for industry and thats what our course is all about.. getting us good jobs in industry and making us adaptable dynamic people with a wide skill-set. The workload isnt bad, mainly due to being a first year. The second year apparently gets much tougher.

Career Ideas
Ive got things to think about. My dad has his own engineering firm, which i might inherit and keep it going or pay someone to keep running it or maybe sell it. As for my own skills, i dont know exactly at the moment. I think my course is telling me im missing my designing/art. So i might move into that industry.
 
University
UWE

Subject
Computer Science

Period
First of three/four years

Do you like what you're doing?
No. Amazing how doing a degree in something that was a hobby really puts you off it. Also, university life seems to suck in general :(

Southampton and the people here are awesome, but the course leaves a little to be desired.

I'm personally in my fourth and final year of a Aero Engineering masters at Imperial College London, though I will most likely be applying to OAT in the fall - if I do start there I guess you will be just returning from Phoenix :)

Have you gone with the HSBC loan?

Career Ideas
Realisticly i will do anything thats offered, any kind of playing or teaching. The band im in at the moment are hoping to start working on cruise ships after we graduate, which i think we are more then capable of doing. What more could i ask for, traveling the world for free and being paid doing the job i love :D

Career Ideas
I'm on a £30k annual [pro-rata] salary (yum!) over summer with an internship at an investment bank (Goldman Sachs) over summer doing development, I hope to work there after uni if I impress them enough that they want me back.

Do you like what you're doing?
Yep, might do a year in industry

Steal this format if you like;

University
University of Nottingham

Subject
Economics

Period
3 years, and I'm first year, so I've done one term.

Do you like what you're doing?
I like the subject but it's pretty dull at the moment; I'm not being challenged at all. I went to about 10-15% of lectures last term and still got Firsts and 2:1s in my modules. Hopefully in the second year it'll pick up a bit, but who knows. I'm finding my optional philosophy modules more interesting really.

Career Ideas
Not been offered anything yet, and don't really know what I'd like to do. I'd quite like to own a record label/concert venue, but not sure how I'd pull that one off.

MPhys - Physics with Space Science

Really enjoyed it, but not got fully into this semester yet.

Career Ideas
Recently got offered a PGCE secondary science course at Exeter. Waiting to accept this.
