DEGREE COURSES

YOU DIDN’T KNOW EXISTED

Is this you?

You're keen to go on to higher education. But none of the traditional subjects appeal. Don't worry, these days you can get a degree in most things. You like baking? You can major in baking technology management. More inclined towards fashion? How about writing a dissertation on handbag and accessories design? It you have a passion for sc mcthing. you can usually find a course that specialises in your area. Here are two courses you never knew existed.

1. THE SCIENCE OF SUPERHEROES

University of California, USA

This course is a new, creative way to learn physics. Through studying heroes and villains, you'll learn the answers to important real-life questions such as what the chemical composition of Captain America's armour is. In other words, you'll attend lectures on the real principles of physics, but they'll be given in a more engaging and accessible way.

2. SURF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

University of Plymouth, UK

The university website warns that "You will not be taught how to surf, and it is important to realise that this is an academic course.' That means you don't graduate because you can catch a good wave-you have to sit exams here! Core modules include ecology and scientific aspects of health, fitness and sports nutrition.
