Students must select a total of 12 modules (60 credits) in Stage 1 with a minimum of 11 modules taken from core and option modules. Core, programme core and option modules are to be taken as directed. An elective module can be taken in the Spring trimester or alternatively, students can register for an additional module from the Science programme.
Students take 9 core modules. Students must take CHEM20140 if not previously taken in Stage 1
