In general, students have to decide on one stream to pursue in second year and will study two or more degree subjects from that stream. Limited degree subjects between different streams can be studied in second year. It is timetable dependent and not guaranteed. A list is not available as it can change each year.
At the end of second year, students select their degree subject preferences. While we strive to accommodate each student’s top choice, some subjects can be competitive. As we offer a number of degree subjects in each stream, students have a number of similar degree subjects available. If a subject is oversubscribed, places are awarded on a competitive basis.
