The thing about House of the Dragon is that morality is grey in the show. There are almost no characters that are entirely good or entirely bad – it’s even possible to feel bad for Aemond from time to time, even during *that* brothel scene. And with half of the characters being depicted by some of the best acting performances on TV, it’s clear why you might be asking: Which House of the Dragon character am I? So to narrow it down, this is exactly what House of the Dragon character you’d be, based on your degree.

Maths – Otto Hightower

via HBO

If you’re doing maths for your degree, it’s a simple calculation to work out which House of the Dragon character you are: Otto Hightower. Hand of the king to three different monarchs, Otto would have an absolutely stacked LinkedIn account.

We saw much less of him in season two and in the finale of season two, we saw him behind bars in what appeared to be a cell. Of course, many would say that prison would be preferable to three years of a maths degree, so swings and roundabouts.

Languages – Queen Rhaenyra

via HBO

If you’re doing a languages degree, then you’re Rhaenyra Targaryen, the rightful Queen of the seven kingdoms and House Targaryen’s very own multilingual baddie.

Languages degrees may be pretty cool, and are great for travel, but I for one won’t be switching to a language course until they find a real life language like High Valyrian that lets me control dragons.

History – King Viserys

via HBO

There are two things you need to know about King Viserys. One, he’s the Theresa May of Westeros – he’s really nice, you love him and really want him to do well, but he can’t quite seem to get to grips with the whole monarchy business.

Two, the dude loves his histories. He spent all of season one building that fancy lego model of Old Valyria for Aegon to smash it to pieces about five minutes after he died. Poor bloke. Any history student should feel an affinity with him.

Media – Mysaria

via HBO

If you’re doing media, you’d be Mysaria. Here’s why: Unlike most characters in House of the Dragon, Mysaria can’t fight, she can’t ride a dragon (unless you count Daemon and Rhaenyra), and she doesn’t have any sort of special powers.

But what she does have is the ability to control and dominate the narrative, with devastating results for anyone who might try to stand in her way. If Mysaria was in our world, she’d be making millions working as a publicist for the Kardashians.

Hospitality management – Ser Simon Strong

via HBO

If you don’t know why anyone doing hospitality management would be Ser Simon Strong, you probably haven’t seen the show. The phrase “host with the most” was invented for Harrenhal’s castellan. The man has dedication.

Finance – Daemon

via HBO

Daemon Targaryen has the strongest finance boy vibes I’ve ever seen, I can’t quite put my finger on it, but if you’ve seen the show, I don’t doubt for a second that you know what I mean. Finance bros would definitely be Daemon.

 Sports science – Aegon

via HBO

If you’re doing sports science, you’re Aegon. Aegon is the captain of the Red Keep rugby team because he is the most rugby boy character that has ever lived. He’s got the unhealthy drinking habits, wandering hands as well as his own little posse of rugby boy clones. Based on this, Aegon would do the most rugby boy course: Sports science. Sorry non-rugby boys on sports science courses.

Business – Ser Criston Cole

via HBO

Not only is Ser Criston a knight of the Kingsguard, he’s also a down bad Hinge addict. The Dornish knight is always in some toxic situationship, being lead on by Alicent or Rhaenyra. As he says to Gwayne Hightower in season two’s finale: “Do not think I have no shame in me ser. Desire for women has brought me grief after grief.” So, sorry if you’re reading this and you’re on a business course – we think you match those vibes.

Philosophy- Rhaenys

via HBO

The Queen Who Never Was is a very wise woman indeed, so any philosophy student is clearly the Lady of Driftmark. The late Princess was always on hand to provide some sage words and went out like a true dragonrider: Congrats philosophy students!

Psychology – Aemond

via HBO

Everyone’s least favourite Freudian mess of child killing, brother burning, one eye having prince needs a psychology degree to process his thoughts when he gets out of bed in the morning. I’ll bet 95 per cent of House of the Dragon’s deleted scenes consist of him spending hours with King’s Landing’s best therapists – which is why you’re Aemond if you’re doing psychology. Just try not to commit as much genocide.

Chemistry – Alicent

via HBO

Chemistry students are Alicent. She might have had a difficult time at uni, juggling her studies with parenting her incestuous brood of blond-haired dragonriders, but if she managed to get the time, she’d have a talent for chemistry.

Whatever products she’s mixed and brewed for herself in the high tech skincare lab she clearly has somewhere offscreen in the Red Keep are working miracles. She’s aged no more that a couple of years in the time it’s taken for her children to reach their 20s. Fair play.
