Stocka Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 At the end of year 11 I was given the address of this website that lists every degree, and every uni you can do it in England. Nearly a year on I have lost this site (thought I had it in my favourites but no) and am wondering if any of you know of it, or at least another site that does.
Fierce_LiNk Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 I think you mean this: http://www.ucas.ac.uk/
Stocka Posted January 20, 2007 Author Posted January 20, 2007 Looks like that is it. Thanks very much. You can lock/delete this thread now if you wish.
Fierce_LiNk Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 I'll leave it open, for you and others to maybe talk about this. No doubt some people will need to start looking at what they're going to be doing in the future. May help others.
Stocka Posted January 20, 2007 Author Posted January 20, 2007 I mainly wanted to know as I suddenly thought today about what i'm really considering doing. Philosophy & Japanese. I'm pleased to see it possible but it unfortunately looks like you have to have done a foreign language for A Level for practically all of them. Do you have to do combined for a degree or can you do two seperate by the way? I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to university/degrees and such and being half way through my AS year am really starting to think it's necessary to research more.
KKOB Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 I do Biology with Japanese at Uni of Manchester and i didn't need A Level in any languages, i did bio, chem and physics A Levels.
Stocka Posted January 20, 2007 Author Posted January 20, 2007 It looks like the only place I can do Japanese with Philosphy is the University of Leeds and it says you need an A level in a foreign language for it :(
LukeLee Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 sometimes its worth contacting them to see how strict they are on it, cos very few places will do japanese a level they might be a bit lenient, particularly if you can show any individual study with japanese.
EchoDesiato Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 I'm going to do Japanology next year at university. Seems like all the geeks want to learn Japanese. :p
ShadowV7 Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 I want to learn Japanese aswell,but my UCAS stuff got sent away on Monday which was also the deadline.Wonder what grades I need.

thirtynine. Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 I want to learn Japanese aswell,but my UCAS stuff got sent away on Monday which was also the deadline.Wonder what grades I need. you can always look into it once your there.
Rummy Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 I was going to say, I do believe that list is called 'The UCAS Directory' :p If you're at a school, they should have it in the library in book form, though tinternets is probably much easier, ucas probably don't even use paper any more.
Supergrunch Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 Do you mean: http://www.ukcoursefinder.com?
Fields Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 It looks like the only place I can do Japanese with Philosphy is the University of Leeds and it says you need an A level in a foreign language for it :( Well most universities run a modular system, where you take a certain number of modules each year, and usually they let you take 1 or 2 in a different subject to your degree. So it's worth looking into single honours philosophy courses and finding universities with open modules in Japanese. Like at Durham we have the Language Centre who offer these, and they have various different levels so no previous experience in the language in necessary .
