What do you study?

[The Fjonis]

I'm taking a master degree of engineering in nano technology.

 

[Steph]

Well, I didn't really go to university, but I studied Computer Science and air traffic, or mor generally aeronautics, which are not in your list

 

[Steph]

Geomatics. The closest thing on that list is Geography, so I voted for it.

I'm working in a company that develops software based on geographical information system

 

[Agarwaen]

International Relationships

 

[Zarn]

History and Education

Voted History

 

[Che Guava]

Ecology doesn't get a catagory unto itself?

I guess I'm studying Biology, but more specifically soil ecology. But not for long, I have my defense on monday

 

[Richard Cribb]

I have a Master degree in history and a Bachelor in philosophy as well as a course in sociology.

 

[Atlas14]

@Godwynn/Atlas: How the crap do you guys major in 6 differnet subjects?

Well I am majoring in Biology, with a concentration in genetics. I will go to grad school for molecular bio, and I simply put Chem down because I am going to need a crapload of chem to study bio.

And history is going to be one of my minors (military history specifically), and philosophy is just something I like so I am going to take a fair amount of those courses. Im not majoring in it though. I didn't realise the question in the OP was targeted at what we were majoring in per se, simply what we are studying now.

I'm doing some pre-degree maths with the Open University at the moment (or I was, I'm finished till February now) With a view to doing a physics degree, or biology haven't decided 100%, but rather do physics atm. It's all good though.

Environmental science is what it's called over here, in degree form anyway, it's one of the fastest growing subjects, particularly since scientists discovered that we can't crap all over the planet and get away with it scott free or did they , I'm surprised it isn't mentioned either, now if a US Republican put up the pole I could understand it, probably never heard of it

 

[Truronian]

Mathematics.

Navel lint

I hear it could be the next-generation renewable fuel source.

 

[Sophie 378]

Yay for multiple-choice: I do Natural Sciences, the pick-and-mix degree. Modules from the schools of Biosciences (mine include biochemistry, molecular cell biology, genetics, bioinformatics and medical biochemistry), Chemistry (organic, inorganic, physical, biochemical, analytical and environmental), Medicine (medical biochemistry overlap) and Earth Sciences (geology). I've also taken a few small modules on statistics, IT and German.

Spoiler module titles :

First year:
Biosciences - Enzymes and Metabolism, The Molecules of Life, Essential Cell Biology.
Chemistry - Chemistry for Natural Sciences I, Chemistry for Natural Sciences II.
Earth sciences - How the Earth Works, History of the Earth.
Misc - Information Technology & Communication, Statistics and the Scientific Method, German for Beginners.

Second year:
Biosciences - Biomembranes and Bioenergetics, Molecular Cell Biology, Genes and Genomes from Mircroorganisms to Man, Metabolism and Cellular Regulation.
Chemistry - Chemical Electives, Chemistry of Carbonyl Compounds & the Synthesis of Peptides, Chemistry of the Elements II, Optical Spectroscopy, Solid State Chemistry & X-Ray Diffraction, Thermodynamics & Kinetics of Reacting Systems.
Final year:
Biosciences - Pumps, Pores and Permeases; Cellular Signalling by Hormones and Neurotransmitters, Cell Toxicity and Carcinogenesis, Structures of Destruction, Mechanisms of Disease Processes. Dissertation: Roles of metal ions in proteins.

Note the increasing specialisation in biosciences! Much easier - good marks are important as well as how interesting the modules are.

While my major would fall under computer science, I casually research all the other items with my name under it. Purely for recreational purposes. Information and facts are my drugs of choice

 

[Perfection]

I hear it could be the next-generation renewable fuel source.

I wouldn't know, I don't study applications of navel lint. I study how different textiles effect the visual aesthetics and flavor of navel lint.

 

[Captain Planet]

I study history, specifically social history throughout the industrial revolution. Also minor in political science, and I may consider formally studying linguistics as I have taken a liking to the *gasp* social aspect involved in it.

Gotta respect leisure polymaths: I quite agree, why limit yourself to one field of study? There's plenty of interesting stuff out there beyond academia if you know where to look.

 

[salty mud]

I'n not even out of secondary lower school yet, but I have a good idea what to study. I want Geography, History, Archeology, Physics and maybe Chemistry.

 

[Mirc]

I do high school. Where is the option "other"?

 

[Scratcher]

A few years ago .... I completed a degree in Civil and Structural Engineering.

 

[willemvanoranje]

Read the OP This is about university.

 

[Corlindale]

I study Philosophy. As me and my fellow students often joke, we chose it because of the amazing money and career options
I considered political science, but I realized I was mostly interested in the theoretical aspects of it, mainly ideologies and political philosophy, and I had no real desire to get an "office job", which seemed to be the main career one could pursue barring politician, and I'm too uncertain of my beliefs and probably too uncharismatic to actually go into politics.
I want to be a teacher, or a writer. Preferably both, the first is probably the more realistic, though.
