Year 3 Transition - Junior Honours

Structure of the Junior Honours year and details of entry into Senior Honours.

Year 3 Contribution to Final Degree Classification 

Performance in Year 3 courses will contribute to the final degree classification.

For students who graduate with Honours degrees in Biological Sciences, the final degree classification will be calculated using a weighting of one-third for Year 3 marks and two-thirds for Year 4 marks. Students who study abroad will have their final degree classification calculated with Year 4 marks only. 

It is not possible to arrange a student's timetable to allow for outside commitments. Studying in Year 3 is full time, previous students have noted that the step from Year 2 to Year 3 can be challenging, and would advise to dedicate as much time as possible to studying.
