If you are studying in two departments for your degree, you are a joint honours student. Here are some extra things you need to know.

Induction timetables will be available in early September

You may have noticed that our welcome schedules are organised by department, rather than by degree programme.

If you are a joint honours student, we advise that you access welcome information and the induction schedule for both sides of your degree.

Prioritise the schedule for your lead department

For joint honours degrees, one department will act as your ‘lead’ or ‘home’ department. This department is responsible for the administrative aspects of your course.

You should prioritise the schedule for your lead department but are welcome to attend any relevant sessions for your partner area that do not clash with those of your lead area.

We highly recommend that you attend at least the main induction talk of your partner department, as this will often contain important information that will be helpful to.

You may find it helpful to bookmark the two timetable web pages relevant to your degree.

We advise that you check the web pages just before you arrive, in case any of the timetabled sessions have changed.

If you are unsure which side of your degree is the lead, or if you have any questions about any of the information given above, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
