[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCUMers only focus on Oxbridge and maybe Imperial/LSE. Anything else and you will hear all kinds of excuses…

But yes, there are another 5 o 7 unis in the UK that make a lot of sense for american kids that dont get admissions to t25 schools.[/quote]

Especially in the case of English universities, they can be great choice for those kids who are happy to specialise from day one. People need to understand if you enrol in a Bachelor of Economics for example, then you only study economics subjects. If you enrol in a Bachelor of History, you only study history. Of course there are combined degrees which provide a bit more latitude. [/quote]

Except if you actually bothered to look at the modules offered at many of the top UK universities in a variety of subjects, you'll find that often say for History, you can take courses that overlap with Philosophy or Politics, if you take English Lit the Art History dept is open to you for several modules, similarly you can add in foreign language study to multiple other single degrees.

You've not been researching places in detail, just relying on repeating what you have read here on DCUM[/quote]

I’m happy to be educated if this is incorrect. I’m referring specifically to English universities. When I look at the course structure for history at Durham or English Lit at Bristol, it only shows courses within those faculties. The websites aren’t always clear. Are you saying that in both of those courses you can take subjects outside those faculties?[/quote]
