The degree scheme
This innovative Combined Honours scheme enables you to combine modules from different fields of study not otherwise available through an existing Exeter degree programme.
It allows you to develop a particular cross-subject blend of knowledge and skills to match your own subject interests and career objectives.
Throughout your degree you will be given regular support to help you choose the most appropriate pathway for you.
Flexible Combined Honours (FCH) can be taken full- or part-time.
The degree title
The title of your degree reflects your areas of study, e.g.
- BA (Hons) in International Relations and Law
- BSc (Hons) in Biosciences and Psychology
- BA (Hons) English and Mathematics
- BA (Hons) Mediterranean Studies
- BA (Hons) Romance Languages
The phrase Flexible Combined Honours is not mentioned in your degree title - it is purely an 'administrative' term used within the university.
Transfer to FCH after your first year
As your interests develop during your first year you may find that your existing degree programme does not allow you to follow the particular things you wish to pursue.
FCH may provide a way of following your own particular interests and ambitions.
You can apply to transfer to FCH during your first year, for your second and subsequent year(s) of study.
