For the students who do not undertake a dissertation or similar independent study module at Level I or H in their other subject, it is compulsory to do either one of the following two modules. For those students who do undertake a dissertation or a similar independent study module at Level I or H in their other subject, these two are optional modules (even if no student can, of course, do both modules). 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.
