Optional modules:

Exactly one project module from List A must be chosen.

(It is expected that for students starting the programme in 2018/19, the LUBS dissertation will be replaced by a 40 credit version).

List A

If LUBS3305 was chosen from List A, then between 0 and 20 credits must be chosen from List B.
If MATH3001 was chosen from List A, then between 20 and 40 credits must be chosen from List B.

List B

If LUBS3305 was chosen from List A, then between 60 and 85 credits from List C must be chosen.
If MATH3001 was chosen from List A, then between 40 and 65 credits must be chosen from List C.


Please check the Module Catalogue for pre-requisites and mutually exclusive modules. At most 20 credits may be at Level 2.
