This programme is an innovative, flexible award that will enable you to follow your own personally created route by tailoring your individual choice of modules. It can enable you to follow an unconventional route using established modules, or to use open self-creative modules, such as Independent Learning. It is available as a non-honours award, resulting in a BSc Ordinary, or as a BSc with honours.
The negotiated endorsement enables you to personally title your award according to your needs. Therefore there are no pre-set award aims as these are individually agreed with each student.
