Information for students on Dual Degrees
Information for students on Dual Degrees
You are a Dual Degree student if you combine your Language and Cultures study with another subject:
Dual degree students are sometimes at home in two different departments and they split their study time between SLAS (Languages, Arts and Societies) modules, and modules in their other department.
But the number of credits you can devote to your language study depends on your type of Dual combination programme.
Step 1. What Dual Degree are you?
Step 1. What Dual Degree are you?
Slightly different rules apply depending on whether you are an Arts and Humanities Dual (History, Music, English, Linguistics) or a Social Sciences Dual (Business Management, Politics) Check the rules that apply to your programme first.
Arts and Humanities Dual Degrees: One or two languages?
Arts and Humanities Dual Degrees: One or two languages?
A Dual within the Arts and Humanities Faculty is flexible. You can decide how many credits you pick up in either subject but the maximum is 80 credits, which is the equivalent of 2/3 of your year's programme.
If you study a Dual Degree with ONE language you will pick:
your language module
a maximum of 3 and a minimum of 1 culture module.
At least one culture module must be the one associated with your language, but you can also pick more from our options.
*the languages listed here are given as examples.
You may want to go for a Dual Degree with TWO languages. Then you can either for a triple format (40-40-40) split, or for a major/minor format.
With a triple format you divide your credits equally over your three subjects in packages of 40 credits. This means:
One Language module and one culture module for language 1
One Language module and one culture module for language 2
40 credits for your other discipline
Dual Degree with TWO languages can also follow a major/minor format. In that case you take at least 40 credits in your major language (one language module and one or two culture modules) and you take just the language module in your minor language.
Social Sciences Dual Degrees: One or two languages?
Social Sciences Dual Degrees: One or two languages?
A Social Science Dual degree is a dual in the strictest sense: you split your time exactly in half over your two departments. This means that you will pick 60 credits of languages and culture modules. 3 modules of 20 credits.
If you opt for a Social Science Dual Degree with ONE language you will choose:
your language module (20 credits)
two culture modules, with at least one associated with your language (40 credits).
You can also combine your social science subject with TWO languages. In that case you will have a major and a minor language and you choose
one language module + the associated culture module
your second language module
