  Course description
  
  Combined Studies offers you a degree which allows you to study course units from Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences and some Sciences. The degree is structured around a range of disciplines, and is therefore able to draw on a wide range of University Schools in order to make a wide selection of courses available to you. The structure of the degree is designed to provide both coherence and flexibility.
  
  By including a Science in the Combined Studies programme you can combine the study of a science and non-science subject at degree level - there are few programmes in Britain that allow you this flexibility. Only one science may be studied and course units are often grouped in multiples of two or three. Sciences available within the degree include the Life Sciences, Earth Sciences, Mathematics and Psychology.
  
  The Applied English Language area of study provides an opportunity for international students for whom English is a foreign language  (EFL) to study English in the same way as they might study another foreign language, alongside theoretical linguistics and the more professionally oriented `sub-pathways' of Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages' (TESOL) and Translation Studies.  This area of study is only appropriate for students for whom English is a foreign language.  If you are a native speaker of English you should consider the Linguistics and English Language area of study offered as part of a Combined Studies course.
  
  Special features
  -Combine arts, social sciences and some sciences in a single degree programme.
  -Wide range of courses available.
  
  Career opportunities
  A degree in Combined Studies gives access to numerous possibilities for further study or training, and future employment: our students have become teachers, translators, journalists, social workers; have joined TV companies and multi-national firms; have entered, in fact, all the careers usually open to Arts and Social Science graduates. Many go on to postgraduate study. In our experience many employers look favourably on students who have demonstrated their abilities in more than one field.
