Degree structure

We offer many subject combinations in the first and second years of undergraduate study.

On most undergraduate degrees, you may choose a subject or subjects outside your main area of study.

You could make these choices with a joint honours degree in mind, to increase your knowledge, skills and employability, or just for personal interest.

Watch our video, which helps to explain the benefits of our broad-based degree programmes.
