Course Description

This course requires students to complete twelve units of study, a maximum of four each year. There is some degree of flexibility in the choice of units being offered in a year. However, a course cannot be taken until its prerequisites have been fulfilled. All foundation units and some of the optional units have no prerequisites and can be taken in any of the three years. Although we ensure that our students are offered all the compulsory units, Scott's College London reserves the right not to offer all the optional units. Subjects offered will be determined by student demand and staff availability.
