If I sign up for a single honours degree, can I change later to a joint degree?
In both cases, a qualified yes. There are various points at which you can change your direction. In general, the decision points are as follows: For those taking Engineering 1 (a general engineering option commonly taken in first year), a change in the Engineering courses studied can be made; for example, to change an outside option for an Engineering course, or to switch to a different branch of Engineering. This must take place before the end of January in the first year. (Note that Chemistry is required for Chemical Engineering). The decision to opt for the Electrical and Mechanical Engineering degree can be deferred until the start of the second year, BUT both Electrical Engineering 1 and Mechanical Engineering 1 must have been studied in the first year (these are two more specific first year course options). The decision to opt out of, or into, other joint honours courses should take place at the start of the third year. The decision to opt INTO a joint honours course requires tha
