is a combined studies degree comsidered as a lesser degree than if you did one subject?

Question

i mean employer wise.

Answer 1

Not necessarily! It depends on the kind of work you plan to go into!! If you are planning to get a graduate-type job when you leave I don't think employers see it as a lesser degree because you are still doing the same amount of work and gaining the skills employers are looking regardless of the course you do. For example time-management, flexibility, being able to work independently, and communication skills are all skills you learn and develop whilst at uni regardless of the course you do. However there are some courses that are more desirable to some employers and thus they may prefer a person who has done the full degree.

Answer 2

Never held me back. They are far more interested in your classification. Most employers really want a 2:1 or above, and many of them will only accept an honours degree. Most won't really mind what the subject is, as just the fact that you have studied and worked hard enough to get a good classification is enough. This will obviously depend on the line of work you are going into, but for general degree, combined studies is fine.

Answer 3

I was told in a uni interview with a lecturer that many emplorers do not mind what degree you actually have, but that often that you have a degree is enough because they are looking to see that you are able to apply yourself and that you have gained skills from it. They want to see a person who can achieve what they set out to do.

Answer 4

Answer 5

the classification of your degree is more important
