Benefits of Studying Combined Honours
The BA Combined Honours degree at Newcastle gives you the chance to combine up to three subjects for in-depth study. With 26 subjects available, it is one of the most extensive, flexible and varied degree programmes of its kind. You may specialise in later stages if you wish.
This freedom of choice demands a high level of independence and adaptability; skills that will prepare you for a wide variety of careers.
The degree gives you the opportunity to:
- create a course structure to match your expertise and interests
- try new and various subjects without committing yourself to a single subject area
- study abroad and take learning from work options
- take an unusual combination of subjects
- specialise, if you wish
- gain wide experience leading to a range of job opportunities
You will attend the same lectures and classes as a student specialising in each subject, so your studies will be at the same academic level. However, you will only take a proportion of the options in each subject so your workload will be the same as that of any other student.
You should enjoy being faced with a variety of tasks and learning to apply in a wide range of contexts. You should also be well organised, to ensure that you keep to the work schedule for each of your subject areas. Combined Honours is a challenging but rewarding degree, offering a wider range of opportunities than single or joint honours programmes.
