COMBINED HONOURS DEGREE DUAL DEGREE
PATHWAY DEGREE *
You study a core subject in depth , with the option to add a complementary subject during your second and third years . A pathway degree gives you the flexibility to choose from a range of subjects after your first year of study .
You apply for a single honours degree , e . g . Early Childhood Studies BA ( Hons ), which offers pathway options . For your first term , you study that subject exclusively . If you want to take a pathway option in year two , you then choose your second , ‘ minor ’ subject from a set list of alternatives . In January of year two , you decide whether to continue your pathway into year three or finish it at the end of your second year . If you continue with your chosen pathway to the end of your course , you graduate with your single honours degree ‘ with ’ your chosen pathway subject , e . g . Early Childhood Studies with Psychology BA ( Hons ).
