Note

Students seeking to complete the Advanced Science component of this combined degree program would normally be expected to complete the full Stage 4 Honours sequence for the Study Plan in which they are enrolled. In practice, it may be difficult to undertake some Study Plans as part of combined degree structures and students may be restricted in the number of Advanced Science courses that they can undertake. Where these are insufficient to allow the student to complete the recommended Study Plan, students are advised to consult the relevant Head of School.
Students may not enrol in the Honours Year until they have satisfied all requirements for both the Science and Social Science components of the degree.
