Originally posted by minestrone View PostI would probably tell kids not to bother with the degree now, they are becoming wastes of money. I did a 5 year degree so I would be hit with a 45 grand debt for tuition fees if I did mechanical in England, stick on maybe 20 grand of personal debt and you are on a run chase into your 30s trying to pay that off.

Originally posted by MrMark View PostIt may be worth forking out the Oxbridge degree, and all the connections it brings, but any youngster who really wants a degree should be looking at doing it abroad. Save a fortune in tuition fees, and they'll have the best chance to get really fluent in a foreign language even though many courses are available in English

Some rigorous degrees have stupid names as I remember a few people at UMIST studying degrees with such names but they were actually engineering degrees targeted at the specific industries who sponsored them.r"You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
