B.Sc. in Biology and Earth Sciences within the Natural Sciences programme.

The student (named below) starts following the BSc Joint-Honours Biology and Earth Sciences programme which left space for some Geography. In Year 2, they decided to combine the Ecological routes through Biology and Earth Sciences leaning in favour of Earth Sciences in Year 3.

Career Trajectory:

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.
