At King's we aim to offer you choice and flexibility so that within your chosen degree programme you can take modules suited to your interests.
From 2007 we have operated a credit framework for all our programmes. Programmes are made up of a number of modules each with a credit value; for a standard three-year programme the overall credit value is 360. One unit of credit roughly equates to ten hours of learning which includes teaching, private study, revision and assessment.
Most of our programmes are structured so that you will take a number of compulsory modules plus there will be an optional range of modules to select from within your chosen subject area. For many of our degree programmes it is also possible to take a restricted number of modules from other departments in the College.
Three types of degree programme are awarded at King's:
- single honours - where you concentrate on one subject area;
- joint honours - where you study two subjects of approximately equal weighting;
- major/minor honours - where at least half your modules are taken in the major subject and at least a quarter in the supporting subject.
