Not to be biased (as I am a third year studying the subject) but English Literature was one of the first to come up. I mean, who can blame someone for being attracted to a book-wielding, glasses-wearing, effortlessly chic individual not afraid to tell you their feelings? (Whether asked to share or not). Thanks to instagram accounts such as @hotdudesreading and to characters like Jess Mariano from Gilmore Girls, it is definitely up there with sexy degrees.
History
This bookishness appeal also goes for history. People will get in line to be next to date you - whether they’ll be divorced, beheaded or lucky enough to survive is definitely worth the gamble to date a well-read history student.
Psychology
Next up is psychology, but this hot degree came with a catch. The general consensus was that it only applied to girls and not boys. I suppose being psychologically examined for girls was a turn off but for boys it is a turn on... who knew using the Oedipus complex would really get a guy going?
Mechanical and Chemical Engineering
Lucky for the engineers a lot of people apparently want to listen to your technical lingo (without being able to understand a word). Acting clueless whilst a guy explains the workings of circuit board is a switch waiting to be turned on. Or are people just looking for someone to fix their boiler this upcoming winter?
Geography
Unlucky for Geography, the decision does not fall in their favour, as theirs is the first degree to fall on the 'not' list. Maybe it's the colouring in, or the deep knowledge of rocks, but for you lot, the prospect of a relationship is quickly eroding.
Architecture
Architecture on the other hand came up on the 'hot' list- the skyscrapers they’re designing will definitely reach the 69th floor.
Sports Science and Physiotherapy
Basically P.E. at a higher level, no one wants to date someone who will cancel their date for the big game. Even though I will give them some points, as those guys really know what to do with their hands.
Medicine
Medicine was stuck in between the lists, as it has all the promise to get things going with a mystery ailment diagnosis and a big pay check once they’ve eventually qualified. But you definitely have to be in it for the long haul for this payout, and will understandably be a second priority to the degree!
Business and Finance
Business and finance degrees have a certain 'hot' appeal, as they often come with the promise of financial success and a luxurious lifestyle as well. A huge added bonus as they can explain why we can’t just print more money.
Film and Media
Film and media unfortunately made the 'not' list, even though the allure of the silver screen and the glamour of the entertainment industry are hard to resist. I think people just can't face having to watch Pulp Fiction or The Godfather with their date mansplaining the plot Ken-style.
Languages
Lastly, languages and linguistics can be captivating and made the 'hot' list, as the ability to communicate in different tongues (or should we say with) is seen as both impressive and alluring. Who wouldn't love to be wooed in French... ooh-la-la!
