Flexible Combined Honours gives you the opportunity to study unusual subject combinations and to customise your degree programme, making it distinctive and different. This is usually done by choosing two or three different subject areas for your first year. The number and proportion of subjects can be varied in your second and final years. It is also possible to drop a first year subject and start a new one or follow a new themed pathway from the second year.
All Flexible Combined Honours students study the same modules taken by students following Single Honours programmes within the University, so you will be studying alongside other students in that field. The scheme also offers the widest possible access to our range of subject disciplines. We ensure that you receive the best quality teaching experience with support from dedicated advisers to oversee your academic progress and help you develop your academic potential during your studies.
When you apply to join the programme you will need to specify the subject areas you want to study. Please contact Admissions and Student Recruitment in the first instance to discuss the possibilities by emailing cornwall@exeter.ac.uk.
Each of the pathways has core modules which you will be required to study in your first year, as well as optional ones from which you choose.
In your second and third years you will have more choice of modules and you will be able to structure your degree to reflect your own preferences. You are also encouraged to include an independent study (dissertation) during your final year that will involve research.
If you opt for the Flexible Combined Honours scheme at our Cornwall Campus you can study either two or three subjects from the following list:
All undergraduate degree programmes in the University are made up of a number of modules, each of which has a particular credit value, usually 30 credits and sometimes 15. You take modules to the value of 120 credits in each year. So, for example, if you choose a Flexible Combined Honours degree over two subjects, you could take 60 credits each year from each subject, and if three subjects are followed, the areas could be arranged as 45/45/30 credits. The proportion of credits in each subject can be varied each year. If you are following a themed pathway, the modules simply need to add up to a total of 120 credits each year.
