BSc in Natural Sciences (Biology, Business and Chemistry)

In Year 1, The student (named below) took the Joint-Honours route in Biology and Chemistry. The Mathematics module taken allowed progression into future Mathematics modules. In Year 2, they took a single Economics at Level 1 which had no progression into Level 2 Economics and in Year 3 they dropped Chemistry and took up a new subject of Business. As they did not take a total 40 credits in Economics in Years 2 and 3 combined, the subject didn't appear on the degree certificate.

Career Trajectory: Joanna Richards graduated in June 2014 and went on to work as an associate for PwC. She writes:
I really valued the flexibility of the course, I was able to begin first year studying all my A level subjects and then gradually focus on the areas that interested me most within Biology whilst also incorporating Economics/Business modules to help prepare me for my career.

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.
