Part 8 Combined Courses

Combined Courses

The combined courses offered by the University enable students to expand their career options, as they have access to the directly related specialist employment available to each degree. The combination of expertise or professional training with a broad educational base is keenly appreciated by employers.

Details of individual units are set out in the separate faculty entries.

Because of recent changes to course requirements and the range of choices available, it is recommended that students (particularly continuing students) consult the relevant sub-dean/s or faculty adviser/s about their course structure.

Separate Completion of Components of a Combined Course

When following a combined course, it is normally possible to take out each degree component separately [except in the case of the Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Arts (Visual)]. In the following section the requirements for admission to each of the degrees are given. Students should note however, that once they have been admitted to one of the degrees, the requirements for the total combined course have to be completed before the second degree can be awarded.

Honours

A student may normally pursue honours in either or both degree components of a combined course and should consult the appropriate Faculty entry in the Handbook and/or the relevant Faculty Office about the requirements for honours in that Faculty.
