Here’s which University of Lincoln degree you should do based on your favourite rom-com

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching and everyone is beginning to pull out their favourite cheesy rom-coms, single or not.

So, in the spirit of Cupid’s matchmaking abilities, we’ve gathered a list of popular rom-coms and matched them to degrees that University of Lincoln offers.

The Proposal: Business studies

via Disney Plus

Hear me out here – if you love the whirlwind romance of The Proposal, which I guess starts in an office, a degree followed by a career in business might be the one for you.

The secret harbouring of a crush on your boss (or employee), a busy workplace in front of a desk, and the added bonus of a business degree.

Although we can’t guarantee your boss will look like Sandra Bullock, or your co workers will have the charm of Ryan Reynolds, you won’t get to find out unless you try. Also, let’s keep things professional whilst at work, people.

La La Land: Musical theatre

via Amazon Prime Video

This one is pretty self explanatory.

Although its rom-com status is debated, if this is your favourite, we’re right behind you, and what better way to follow your love of La La Land then with a degree in musical theatre.

I mean, you literally learn to sing like Emma Stone, argue as convincingly as Ryan Gosling, and dance as flamboyantly as both of them combined. You never know- maybe one day you will bring tears to people’s eyes as much as this film does to so many of us.

27 Dresses: Events management

Always the bridesmaid and never the bride? Events management is the degree you’ve been looking for.

Learn how to be the best bridesmaid that has ever existed by being able to plan hen parties and handle wedding catastrophes with ease. Whilst you might not get such a fantastic range of dresses out of the degree, you will get skills that will support you for life.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower: Psychology

via Sky Store

Another one that people may not consider a rom-com.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower is film that resonates with us all, focusing on the twists and turns of student life, so if this is your favourite then psychology is the degree for you.

With such a focus on mental health, the movie begs for a psychological analysis. So, why not strive to do it yourself?

13 Going on 30: Journalism

via Netflix

Want to work in the magazine industry like Jenna? Fashion editing is no joke, and neither is journalism.

Although you may not be living in your 30-year-old body as a 13-year-old when you get there, this is the perfect degree choice. You’ll get a range of experience including magazine production, and maybe even find your “pookie” (not your “puke-y”).

The 40-Year-Old Virgin: Physics

via NOW TV

Whilst not relating to the film at all, physics is a fantastic choice for aspiring virgins… I mean physicists. Plus, if all else fails, you can always work at a box store. If Andy Stitzer can find romance at 40 years old, so can you.

How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days: Marketing

via Netflix

Similar to our reasoning for the 13 Going on 30 pairing, marketing and How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days go together like peas in a pod.

Do you idolise Ben’s willingness to stay even as Andie tries to get him to break up with her and their subsequent romance? Follow in his footsteps and get a degree in marketing.

Though finding a Kate Hudson in a sea of marketing co-workers may seem futile, you never know where this degree might lead you.

10 Things I Hate About You: Gender studies

via Disney Plus

The ideal degree here would be something like poetry, but Lincoln doesn’t offer this course so gender studies it is.

Kat’s fierce feminist attitude makes her a wildly interesting main character. So, if this is your favourite film then studying gender, with its core module of feminist theories and debates, might be a perfect contender. I’ve even started rhyming now.
