Four-year courses leading to an MChem degree are also available. Also, a Joint Honours Chemistry and Physics scheme has been recently introduced. Modularisation All of the teaching in the University is now modular in style. Modules are assigned a credit weighting, and in each year of study a student must attend and pass modules worth a total of 120 credit points. Some modules will be compulsory for a particular degree scheme and others will be optional, where a student has a choice between a number of alternatives.
All modules incorporate some element of continuous assessment.
