Year: 3
2023/24 Session
As a result of enhancements to the University's Joint Honour provision, students in their final year may choose either 80 , 60 or 40 credits in each subject of their Joint Honours degree (subject to a combined total of 120 credits in each year). The programme requirements set out below are based upon a choice of 60 credits in each subject; the number of optional modules available to you (if any) will therefore vary depending on the precise number of credits you are taking in each subject. The number of credits taken in each subject may also result in a change to your degree title, as detailed in the University's Regulations. Please consult your Programme Director if you have any queries.
For students who do not undertake a dissertation or similar independent study module at Level I or H in Mathematics one of the following two modules is also compulsory.
For those who undertake a dissertation or a similar independent study module at Level I or H in Mathematics, these two modules are optional modules (even if no student can, of course, do both). Furthermore, in order for a Joint Honours student to be permitted to do the 40 credit dissertation at stage III, they must do 80 credits worth of philosophy modules at this level. That is, they must do two other 20 credit philosophy modules in addition to the 40 credit Philosophical Project.
Choose 40 (or if taking Philosophical Project, 20) credits from the following list of options or up to 20 credits of Level I Department of Philosophy modules may be taken provided that all 60 Year 3 credits in the other Joint Honours subject are being taken at Level H.
This list of modules which follows is indicative but in any given year, only around 15 of these will run in the ordinary way (with lectures, seminars etc.)
Students may also apply to undertake a Professional Skills module at level H. If successful this will be taken in place of one of their semester 1 taught modules. The placement can be taken either during the summer vacation (part-time or full-time) or during semester 1 (part-time only). The placement must be completed prior to the Christmas vacation.
Students who undertook a Professional Skills module at level I will not be able to undertake a Professional Skills module at level H.
