What your favourite Disney character would study at the University of Sheffield
Please don’t take me for a Disney adult
Whether you’re a hardcore fan with Mickey Mouse ears from various outings to Disney World dotting your walls, a more casual enjoyer, who won’t say no to a Disney film but won’t seek them out purposely, or someone who hasn’t been keeping up with the myriad of almost identical productions from the past decade, there is a Disney character made for your degree.
But please don’t get upset when I remind you that Disney now owns Star Wars. It hurts me, too.
Belle: English literature
Starting with a classic, Belle would absolutely study English literature, spending her days at Western Bank, never the IC, by one of the windows overlooking the park. Later becoming a lecturer or a school teacher, to transmit her love of the world of literature to others.
However, Belle would not be a part of BookTok, and definitely would not be fawning over Mafia-Ceo romance novels or asking about the “spice” level in Crime and Punishment, she knows better than that. Be like Belle.
Wall-E: Engineering
I’m grouping all the engineering students together for this one.
Curious, workaholic, and little lonely Wall-E. It takes him 700 years to develop a personality outside of his field, but only when a girl finally shows up. It’s obvious that he would have graduated with a BEng from Sheffield before Earth’s ecocide.
Wall-E is the robotic version of students assigned to work on a group project with people who barely know how to turn on a computer.
Joy: Psychology
Most Read
Every character in Inside Out would study psychology – because, what else? The lead emotion in Riley’s mind, Joy uses her friends’s mental health conditions to help her with her coursework. She’s ready, and armed with the skills of a psychology undergraduate degree to psychoanalyse you at any moment and diagnose you with a myriad of conditions. Her obsession with figuring out the inner workings of everyone’s mind makes you wonder if maybe it is she who needs therapy the most.
Jack Skellington: Politics
The pumpkin king of Halloween town, Jack can be counted on to do what is in everyone’s interest, which makes him an ideal political leader. He’s also scary and spooky and mostly seen around Halloween every year – making him a good fit for Chancellor too.
Queen of Hearts: Law
“Off with their heads!” – the Queen of Hearts can be none other than a law student. Her passion for brutal and expedient application of the rule of law makes her a perfect fit. Furthermore, her intense belligerent nature means she’d fit in with all the law students you know.
You better not cross her, or she’ll find a way to sue you, even if your only offence was disagreeing on bringing back the death penalty.
Scrooge McDuck: Economics
With the money that only a finance nepo bro could have and his opportunistic tendencies, Scrooge is the OG economics student. Money is the true love of his life, and he will start explaining inflation in excruciating detail if you dare ask why we can’t print more money, even if you were just joking.
