Joint Honours Students
For joint honours degrees, one school or department acts as the ‘lead’ for your degree. Your lead school is Politics.
You should prioritise the schedule for your lead school, but you are welcome to attend any relevant sessions for your partner area providing they do not clash with those of your lead area. We recommend that you attend at least the main induction talk for your partner school, and please note that the pre-sessional Maths on Thursday is compulsory if you do not have A-level Maths.
This timetable is for activities and meetings organised by the School of Economics. Please check with the other relevant school (Politics) for their activities.
