MSci in Biology and Chemistry

In Year 1, the student (named below) followed only Biology and Chemistry (Molecules in Action has no progression into Level 2.) In Years 2 and 3, there was no choice and in the final year they made the decision to take their project in Chemistry. The MSci rules also allows them to take their project in Biology.

Career Trajectory: Sarah Collins graduated in June 2014 and went on to do a PhD at Oxford University.

General disclaimer:
  • Some of the modules above may have changed their names and codes since this students took this module combination. However, the combination flavour of the modules is still possible.
  • The timetable changes each year and we only guarantee that the Joint-Honours routes have one set modules that work. However, certain module combinations in Year 1 of three subjects can work - these modules are shown at the bottom of each Joint-Honours page.
  • In some examples the student might not meet the prerequisite for a module (in which case a concession would have been given based on the student doing extra work or meeting the prequisite from another module) or the student might not meet the programme regulations in which case a concession might have been given.
