There's a University Course for that?

What do y ou want to be when you grow up?

After cracking up over a bowl of Cornflakes of the idea of there being a 'David Beckam' University course I decided to do some further research, so I scanned the UCAS courses to see what other random interests you could study. I mean people laugh at you for studying Philosophy or Liberal Studies or even Classical Studies or Media but things get even stranger!

I've got a friend with a degree in Forensic Pathology in Northern Ireland when there's only one forensic pathology job in the whole country so she's morbidly waiting for them to die like Prince Charles!!!! and currently working in Tesco's.

Forget History of Art or IT as random and useles courses out in the big bad world and try some of these?

Actual courses from actual UNIVERSITIES (not random small techs) in the UK for 2011!
