We accept most A Level subjects but check course pages for specific course requirements. This will result in an X with Y degree title. You will be required to take at least one Independent Study Project in your final year, although this will depend upon the requirements of your principal subjects.Ĭombined honours students will be given the option to specialise in one of your chosen subjects in your final year. For example, you could take a total of three modules in one principal subject, four modules in the other principal subject and a language module. The remaining available credits can be filled with modules from these subjects or other subjects entirely.

You will take at least three modules (45 credits) each year in each of your principal subjects, although some principal subjects will require you to take more than this, and therefore you must have gained at least 135 credits in each of your principal subjects. If you are taking a combined honours degree, these will be the two subjects you applied for and they are referred to as your Principal Subjects. Combined HonoursĬombined honours degrees are taken in two different subjects, resulting in an X and Y degree title. You will be required to take a minimum of six modules (90 credits) each year in that subject and therefore you must have gained at least 270 credits in the single honours subject overall. Single honours degrees are taken wholly or predominantly in one subject (referred to as your single honours subject). We've briefly outlined the structure of each degree type below. You'll receive more information about the structure of your programme when you arrive at Keele. There are some degree programmes which do not follow this format, usually degree programmes with a professional aspect, such as Medicine, Nursing and Physiotherapy, and some modules are worth 30 credits.


Regardless of your degree type, you will have to complete at least 270 credits in your chosen subject(s) overall. Whether they are combined honours or single honours, the majority of undergraduate degrees at Keele share a common structure of eight 15 credit modules in each year (for a total of 120 credits).
