Examples of programmes of study within the Natural Sciences programme
All of the below examples allow students to take all of the modules associated with Level 2 of the BSc Joint-Honours programme in
Biology and Psychology. This degree allows students 20 credits from any Department in Year 1. If the student wants to take two modules another Department/School without creating cutting down choice in future years, then that is possible by not taking the 40 credit module Introduction to Psychological Research and taking another 20 credit Psyhcology module. The downside is that the degree will not be BPS accredited. The core in the examples below are that students follow at least Biology and Psychology and a ✔ or ✔ denotes that the first year module choices fulfil the criteria for a transfer to Biology or Psychology at the end of Year 1.
