Student studyingThe final year study programme continues the flexibility of the previous years.

There is much choice in how you conclude your studies. You can, for example:

  • continue to follow the prescribed route in each of your subject areas (use the subject links to the right to see what these routes consist of)
  • more freely select from available modules in your subject areas, subject to any pre-requisites
  • do a dissertation or Independent Study - very useful for employability
  • vary the balance of credits between your subject areas compared to previous years (e.g. 60:60, 90:30, 75:45)
  • add a third subject area, e.g. for vocation benefits, add a language
  • continue the themed programme from the previous year by taking related modules from several departments
  • gain experience to become a school teacher - Aspirational Teachers Programme

In short, an exciting opportunity to study what interests you!

Talking through a study programmeAcademic guidance for your final year is given through individual discussions with the Director of FCH and the relevant subject co-ordinators during the summer term of the preceding year.

These discussions ensure that things are correct as regards you having any necessary pre-requisites for modules, timetabling, observing 'established' degree programmes, maintaining appropriate academic progression and coherence etc.

But thankfully there are only few rules that must be followed.

Programme Approval

Because of many factors needing to be considered when planning a programme, you need to be aware that your proposed study programme may need some adjustment before it can be approved by the FCH Director.

Degree Title

Your degree title will reflect the composition of the subjects, following the FCH degree title conventions.
