Studying here

Student choice

There are several ways in which you can shape your degree to fit your interests and career plans:

Flexible Combined Honours Scheme

This scheme enables you to combine modules from a number of different fields of study not otherwise available through an existing Combined Honours programme. See our Flexible Combined Honours section for full details.

Free choice modules

Many programmes include the opportunity to take up to a quarter of your studies outside your main subject of study – this could be in another academic subject area, languages or to add some vocational elements such a leadership module run by the Business School.

You also have the option to take modules identified in our SUSTAIN:ability pathways. These modules address different aspects of sustainability and will help prepare you for future work in a changing global environment.

Study abroad

You can broaden your horizons by studying for up to a year in Europe or, in certain degree programmes, North America, Australia or New Zealand (see our Study abroad page).
