BSc in Natural Sciences (Biology and Chemistry)

For the first two years, the student follows the BSc Joint-Honours Biology and Chemistry programme. In Year 3, they dropped Chemistry in Year 3 and took 20 credits each of Business and Earth Sciences. The Earth Sciences module has a prerequisite that students need to have taken some Biology in Durham. As they did not take a total of at least 40 credits in either Business or Earth Sciences in Years 2 and 3 combined, the subjects didn't appear on the degree certificate.

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.
