Rmpr 8,977 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 yes people normally choose subjects connected to the degree course they want ,, at one time it was mainly Science or Arts but many more optionsnow ,,,A lot of UK people on here are on degree coursesAwesome, I find this much more useful. In Brazil, you need to take a test that has all subjects and each university apply their own test.I took 2:Unicamp: Phase1- 48 tests of everything and 3 essays; Phase 2- All open/written questions (12 Portuguese, 12 Math, 18 History+Geography, 24 Biology+Physics+Chemestry).USP: Phase1- 90 tests (all subjects); Phase2- 10 open questions of Portuguese, 10 of Math and 20 of Everything Else and 1 Essay).I think it is stupid. Why do I need to know biology for an engeneering school?I believe an unified test for everyone and only their desirable subjects is much, much better.

I mean, I am only 1 year away from school and already feel the loss of beeing without any contact with subjects like History, Biology, etc.Specialisation brought us immense technological advance, but it has its flaws.

Even in sport we had people who were international standard in 3 or more sports Rmpr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
