Joint honours
Some extra things you need to know as a joint honours student
One degree, two different subjects. How to organise your first few weeks.
Induction schedules
Make sure you check the timetables for both of your departments and attend as many events as possible for both, particularly the main induction talks. Induction timetables will be available in early September.
How is my degree organised?
You study an equal amount of modules in each department. However, for administrative purposes, one of the departments is classed as the ‘lead’. Your personal tutor will be in the lead department. In your other department, you will be assigned a joint honours liaison tutor, who will be a contact for any issue relating to that side of your degree.
English are the ‘lead’ for joint honours degrees with History and Classics. For all other English joint honours programmes, the other department is the ‘lead.
Bookmark both timetables
Bookmark the two induction schedule web pages relevant to your degree. We advise that you check back with them just before you arrive, in case any of the timetabled sessions have changed.
