BSc in Biology and Chemistry

In Year 1, it was pure "luck" that Economics timetabled (now the Mathematics prerequisite has stiffened a little) and in Year 2 the student choose to follow the BSc Joint-Honours path with an even split of the two subjects. Note that there was a little flexibility in Year 2 about the module taken which then determined the choices available in Year 3.
Year 1
Core Chemistry 1A (CHEM1012)
Single Mathematics A (MATH1561)
Elements of Economics (ECON1011)
Molecular Basis of Life (BIOL1071)
Genetics (BIOL1111)
Year 2
Core Chemistry 2 (CHEM2012)
Structure and Reactivity in Organic Chemistry (CHEM2031)
Animal Physiology (BIOL2351)
Biochemistry (BIOL2381)
Plant Physiology (BIOL2401)
Year 3
Core Chemistry 3 (CHEM3012)
Stress and Responses to the Environment (BIOL3491)
Literature ReviewG (BIOL3451)
Molecular Biology (BIOL2441)
Advanced Organic Chemistry (CHEM3117)
Practical Chemistry 3 - Organic (CHEM3127)


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.
