Combined Studies is an opportunity for students on the Undergraduate Modular Programme to redirect or broaden their programme of study in Stage 2 beyond the normal limitations of other fields. It enables you to exploit the full range of modules available on the Modular Programme and create a programme of study that meets your individual needs. If you have completed Stage 1 successfully or expect to shortly, and are thinking that your present course may no longer meet your aspirations, your may find the solution in Combined Studies.
Entry is subject to places being available and completion of the normal field change procedures.
Field changes into Combined Studies will only be confirmed once the conditions of entry have been met. A CN programme may be built around 2 fields rather than a Theme. Thus, a CN programme described as Studies in Politics and Sociology would include a maximum of 4 modules credits from each of these fields and might suit someone whose other single field was, say, Economics who wanted a broad programme within social sciences. This formula is very flexible and gives many options as there are a number of fields that offer a choice of advanced modules with no prerequisites. You should discuss any major new direction of your study with your personal tutor.
