I could do the dissertation module in either psychology or philosophy, but I do still have to do a dissertation. If you do a joint honours degree that is weighted more towards one subject (eg. 70% one subject, 30% another subject), they would probably prefer you to do the dissertation in the subject you do most modules in.
But yeah, I'm pretty sure joint honours and combined degrees are the same thing, if not then you can just ignore all of this
Same as above poster, I do 50% of each subject. But thing is I'm currently doing 2 Criminology modules and 3 Social Policy. This is because single honours Criminology students have to do a module of Social Policy so I do that one, too.
Try looking on the UCAS website but I really wouldn't start worrying about it just yet.
Many single honours subjects allow you to opt for minors in other subjects too along the way.
There are also interdisciplinary degrees where you study several subjects such as Natural Sciences degrees etc.
how did i miss out on this last time. :eek2:
That actually depends on the university.
A combined degree is also known as joint-honours- it means you do more than one subject.
For instance, I did a Law with Politics degree at Durham. In that case, I did about 60% law, and 40% politics, and had to do a law dissertation but not a politics one.
I "majored" in law, but my degree was both law and politics, and said so on the scroll.
True...at mine we have the choice of a dissertation, or an extra final year module. Our system is pretty complicated anyway, as in Scotland alot of the courses are MA's, based off the old Scottish school system.
yup, you're right. I'm sure my uni (pityfull excuse for) does it like this, although I *think* there's the option to do an extra module or double module instead of a dissy. One of my friends did an exam in her subject that made up the honours part...
OP: If you look on the uni website they have explanations of how the degrees break down.
