The last digit of the module code indicates whether the module is single, double or triple.

Visit the Subjects page for the general overarching rules and structure.

Education is a Group 3 subject which does not contribute to a Joint Honours degree within Natural Sciences and is also not from a Department within the Faculty of Sciences. For students entering on or before October 2015 wishes to take a module from the list below they must take a minimum of 40 credits in any given year. Like any subject which is not part of a Joint-Honours route, Education is not guaranteed to work with your choice(s) of Group 1 science subject(s) but that does not stop you from pursuing Education, subject to the usual restrictions of Natural Sciences.

In BSc students' final year, they are required to take no less than 20 credits and no more than 60 credits of Capstone Modules. These modules are denoted with G
