University of Exeter, BA (Hons), Flexible Combined Honours

The University of Exeter has been named Times University of the Year 2013 by The Sunday and is currently ranked between 7th and 10th in the latest ranking compilations of universities in the United Kingdom.

Flexible Combined Honours Program allows you to develop a particular blend of knowledge and skills in line with your own subject interests and career objectives. You are guided in this development throughout your degree by the academic staff in each of your subject areas and your personal tutor – all are there to help you choose the most appropriate academic pathways and to get the most out of your degree and time at Exeter.

At its simplest level, this programme lets you combine two subjects for which there is no currently existing 'established' Combined Honours degree on the Streatham and St Luke's campuses – e.g., English and History; Geography and Economics; or Management and Sports Science.

Three subjects may also be possible, if you can fit in the required core modules for these and the timetable is viable – please do contact us if you are considering three subjects. More than three subjects is not usually allowed as it is unlikely to be viable.
You can study a related or diverse range of subjects from those offered by most departments of the University. This includes combining subjects across the areas of arts/humanities, sciences and social sciences, so you can create degrees such as English and Mathematics; Biosciences and Theology; or Psychology and Management.

There is the option to spend up to a year studying or working abroad and you can include a foreign language within your degree if you need to develop one. Work experience can be part of your degree. Employers place great emphasis on this - over 60% of jobs go to those on internships.

You can take a Flexible Combined Honours (FCH) degree as:

• first year entry, with A-Levels, IB, Access course, or equivalent qualifications. Application is made through UCAS.
• transfer to this programme from any other Exeter degree programme, after your first year in the University of Exeter. Contact the University for more detailed information.
• direct entry second year, with appropriate prior qualifications or learning.
