Flexible Combined Honours with Study Abroad BA/BSc - Exeter

The modules we outline here provide examples of what you can expect to learn on this degree course based on recent academic teaching. The precise modules available to you in future years may vary depending on staff availability and research interests, new topics of study, timetabling and student demand.

Each first year pathway usually has a combination of one or more core compulsory modules and optional modules which you choose from those available in that year.

In your second and final years you will have more choice of modules and you will be able to structure your degree to reflect your own preferences. During your final year you can also include an Independent Study (dissertation) module that can involve research.

All undergraduate degree programmes in the University are made up of a number of modules, each of which has a particular credit value, usually 15 or 30 credits. You take modules to the value of 120 credits in each year. So, for example, if you choose a FCH degree of two subjects, you could take 60 credits each year from each subject, and if three subjects are followed, the areas could be arranged as 45/45/30 credits. If you are following a themed pathway, the modules simply need to add up to a total of 120 credits each year.

The final year of your programme can also include an independent study or dissertation with individual supervision in a subject of your choice.
