Bachelor of Science

Think I'll only be taking Arts subjects as breadth
so,

Literature and Performance OR Philosophy: The Big Questions
can't decide, does anyone know if Literature and Performance requires a lot more work? Or just a lot of work in general? I'd like to have one easy-ish subject in my first year

Apart from that, it'd probably just be more Philosophy subjects and maybe Shakespeare
might throw in an ancient history subject in there too - something to do with ancient Rome, Greece or Egypt

I have studied Philosophy: The Big Questions and it was a fairly good subject. In terms of workload, I didn't find it particularly demanding. There were two mini papers which you could hand in basically whenever depending upon the topics which appealed to you, plus a mid-semester essay of your choice, and an exam where you got the questions beforehand (though not all of them ended up being on the actual paper).
