Flexible Combined Honours

Flexible Combined Honours

Flexible Combined Honours (FCH) offers a unique and appealing degree structure as it lets you study a range of subjects, related or totally diverse, in a very flexible manner.

Professor Marion Gibson, Director of Flexible Combined Honours, explains below how taking modules from outside of your discipline enables you to develop a particular blend of knowledge and skills in line with your own subject interests and career objectives.

FCH is a great way to combine the study of diverse subjects at Penryn. As FCH students you won’t need to follow all the guidance intended for students only studying one subject (single honours students) and you will usually have fewer compulsory modules to take. But you must choose all those of the compulsory or “core” modules for your subjects that have been designed for FCH students to take. View the FCH students' specific curated core of subject modules list here.

If you have any subject-specific questions, such as learning content on modules, ask the FCH subject coordinator for that area of study.

I would 100% recommend taking modules from a variety of disciplines... It gives you so much more perspective and so much more clarity of thinking if you give yourself a chance to not just think within one concept that your subject might put you in.
