sparta? THIS IS MADNESS!!!
I'll hopefully, or maybe not so hopefully, be going to university next year. I've applied for a joint degree with computing and psychology. I've got a conditional offer and I accepted it (I can probably defer it or change the course).
However today my teacher in ICT told me that joint degrees aren't usually that good. One of the things he said was that joint degrees don't usually go into as much depth as single degrees, so at the end of the course you have a dilemma where you won't be knowledgeable enough to get a good job in either field.
Looking up opinions on the internet seems to suggest that joint degrees have fixed schedules and are more of a pain to work with, there also doesn't seem to be any difference in the recognition either types of degrees get.
I should add that I don't know what I want to do, or what job I'll land on by taking the joint computing and psychology degree that I've accepted. Psychology seems as interesting as interesting the next subject. After graduating from high school (this is GCSE level in the UK) I've grown to like maths, technology and science. But I didn't take any related courses in my A levels (SATII equivalent for university entrance in the us). My A levels consisted of psychology, sociology and ICT.
What do you guys think I should do? single psychology? single (not so sure about this as I don't have any experience coding and I'm not knowledgeable in computing) computing? take the joint that I've applied to? or do a completely different subject?
