All joint honours courses
Courses at the University of Derby are made up of modules - these are bite size 'chunks' of study, usually based around a particular theme.
Each year, you'll take eight modules - if you're part time, this will be less, depending on how long you're taking to complete the course. In the first year you can study up to three subjects. The more subjects you try, the greater your choice will be when you decide your final degree path.
In the second year, most students choose two subjects and study towards a joint or major-minor degree. You can carry on with all three subjects for a minor-minor-minor degree.
If you're studying at Buxton, you will follow the joint (two subjects) programme.
You'll attend the same lectures and classes as students studying for single honours degrees, be taught by the same academics, do the same amount of work, and be assessed in just the same way - usually a combination of coursework and exams.
