Question: What subjects did you study?

Hi Sean 🙂

It was quite a long time ago (I did O levels!) but I studied English Language, English Literature, Maths, French, Latin, Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Religious Education (compulsory at my school). I might have forgotten one… I didn’t pick History or Geography though, or any of the modern languages other than French. I was terrible at History so dropped that when I was 14. Of course I find it fascinating now but at the time I didn’t get on with it at all. I didn’t mind Geography but didn’t really have room for it, same with the languages.

You might not be too surprised if I tell you that for A levels I did Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Possibly I could have squeezed a Maths A level in too but I stopped after ‘AO’ maths (slightly less than halfway between O and A level) having decided that I’d had enough of it.

At university, as an undergraduate, I studied three different subjects which combined together to give me a modular degree – I studied Biology and Psychology as major subjects and Computing as a minor. After that I did an additional postgraduate degree (a Masters / MSc) in Neuroscience – which is to do with studying the brain, and which followed on very nicely from my undergraduate degree.
