Degrees of Madness

To brighten up your day, here are some of the more unusual courses you might want to study and which (for some unknown reason!) have appeared in clearing:

Equine Studies with Dance (dancing with horses?)
Equine Studies with Accounting (bookie training)
Equine Studies with Art (painting horses)
Fire Safety (no, really, it's a three-year degree!)
Hair Care Management (the "wash and go" degree!)
Irish with Italian (Catholic Studies)
European Studies with Food (Snails and pasta)
Food and Citizenship (table manners?)
Food and Criminology (How to commit murder by poisoning?)
Food and Human Resources Studies (bribe your staff with lots of chocolate)
Boatbuilding (how to win the Turner Prize)
Licensed Retail Management (how to run a pub)
Parliamentary Studies (Studying parliament)
Parasitology (studying parliament, focussing on the Tories)
Sheep Farming (how to get a job in New Zealand)
Sales Management (How to be an asshole)

That's enough for now, I think, but you get the picture.

There is still a big hole in front of our busstop, but this morning it contained two men in hard hats, having a nice chat and eating bacon sandwiches.
