For the most part we don't do the major/minor system over here (e.g. my degree in physics is just a degree in physics, I never did anything else), although I do know of a few degree schemes where it can be done.

You know you're all jealous : /

Statistics, biology, and chaos theory all in one course? I'd fail that miserably.

Wow, I don't know if I'd like that. =/

I think you should be more well-rounded than that!

Why? Alright, I can appreciate some people wanting to leave open more opportunities, but it does mean you can completely focus on one subject rather than worrying about another one. Besides, Cardiff University doesn't offer any joint schemes along with Astrophysics (although straight Physics can be done with Chemistry, Biology, Engineering, Maths and Music, if you wanted).

I can pretty much mix any major or minor.

I think perhaps a double major in Mech/Aero engineering and minor in English.

I'll help ya mate. Most people get nervous so don't be all shaken up because you might look stupid. The thing is if you do look stupid (Unless it is major) most people won't notice and no one well no by tomorrow. Also don't know what presentation you have to do but if you have to move and look at the crowd then try not to look at peopls eyes. Try to look at their hair.

Not really good at giving tips but I tried!! I never get nervous in front of crowds. Its just who I am. I like the attention.

i think the best thing when it comes to presentations and interviews is to just not care about it. If you don't care, then you shouldn't get nervous and you can do it how you like.

You have 266 posts but 5 bars. That is beyond crazy.

Also if you don't care about it then why would you do it in the first place??
