Combined honours. Are you finding it hard to decide between two subjects you enjoy? If so, you could tailor your degree with a combined honours degree. Variety, flexibility and a chance to maximise your employability are just some of the advantages on offer when you choose to study a combined degree… and Canterbury Christ Church University offers one of the widest selection of combined degrees in the UK.
Why study a combined honours degree?
What makes a combined honours degree?
A combined honours degree is one degree covering two subject areas. It will allow you to:
Most university degrees are composed of a numbear of individual modules with each module being worth a set amount of “credits” which indicates the amount of learning undertaken. Our full-time students take 120 credits each year, that’s 360 credits over the length of your degree.
• explore two subjects you enjoy and gain a wider set of knowledge and skills • tailor your degree to suit your own personal preferences, giving you greater choice of what you study • meet an even wider range of students to work with and make friends.
Maximise your employability
Choose your combination Take a look at the specific subjects you are interested in within this prospectus. The course page will tell you if it is offered as a combined honours and recommend some subjects it combines well with. You’ll find a full list of the combinations in the back index. For more about the combinations on offer, their UCAS codes, and our suggestions for the combinations we think really work best, please visit our website: canterbury.ac.uk/combinedhonours-degrees
be a Christ Church Graduate
With an ever-changing work environment, employers are looking for those who can demonstrate adaptability and diverse knowledge and skills. Specialising in two subject areas provides you with the opportunity to distinguish yourself in an increasingly competitive job market as a graduate who is flexible, adaptable, possesses excellent interpersonal, organisation and problem solving skills, can undertake independent research from more than one discipline and has the ability to work as part of a team.
With a combined honours degree, in your first year you will study 60 credits in each of your chosen subject areas. As you progress into your second and third years, you may decide that you prefer one subject to another and you will be able to take more of your credits from your favoured subject.

Foundation years. A number of our degrees are also offered with an additional foundation year (Year 0 of a four year degree). A foundation year can provide an ideal route for those who have the ability to study at degree level but don’t have the entry requirements for their chosen subject. You may be school-leaver who has not quite reached the required tariff points, or you may have decided to follow a different path of study from your A Levels and need to gain a grounding in a new subject area. Perhaps you are someone considering returning to study after a number of years; you don’t have the qualifications but have relevant experience and plenty of enthusiasm. If so, a foundation year may be just what you’re looking for.
What is a foundation year course? A foundation year is the first year of a four year degree which:
We also offer an International Foundation Year (IFY) / International Foundation Certificate.
• provides an introduction not only to study at University but also to your chosen subject
You will find more details about what you will study as part of your foundation year on the following pages.

COUNTER TERRORISM & TRANSNATIONAL CRIME BSc Single Honours
Your course Terrorism, counter-terrorism and transnational crime are issues currently faced by many countries across the world. This degree presents a unique opportunity to provide you with both context and a critical outlook on these highly publicised cases, and introduces you to the aspects the media does not talk about. After the tragic events of 9/11 in the USA, the world entered what many see to be a new era in how we understand, perceive and react to transnational crime, including terrorism. Despite the significance of the attack on the World Trade Centre, transnational crime and terrorism are not new concepts. To understand the current strategies in tackling these phenomena, it is important to learn from history, evaluate the complexities, and take a holistic but critical view of politics, policies, international treaties, and policing powers.
You will explore areas including: • responses to terrorism and political violence • forensic investigation, crime science, criminal investigation • international policing, decision making. Your career Many of our students choose to continue their education by undertaking research degrees with us. Alternatively, you could choose to apply for jobs within the criminal justice field, in the civil service, local government, Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service, to name but a few. Should you decide you wish to join the police following your studies, this degree represents the third route into policing as a degree level award holder. If successful in joining the police, you would be required to undertake a diploma in policing within the first two years of your police service.

CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION
DURATION 3 years full-time
BSc Single Honours
Your course This course allows you to study the historical rise of the detective, from the early days of the new police into the modern era. The increase in crime, and the manner in which crime is committed today, provides very different challenges to the detectives of the past. Students will have the opportunity to critically analyse how the police service has met some of these challenges by exploring high profile cases that demonstrate how criminal investigations can fail due to systematic or individual error, and equally, good examples of police practice which demonstrate the highest standards of professionalism. You will also seek to understand the current context within which detectives work, including a national shortage of detectives, government austerity measures and the rise in technology and complex criminality.
You will explore areas including: • the history of detectives • detective professionalisation • management of crimes depending upon their seriousness • recurring problems in criminal investigation • the ethical and legal nature of detective work. Your career The choice of careers following graduation is wide and varied. Graduates may decide to join the police as a degree level award holder, or become an investigator for the National Crime Agency, Military, Independent Office for Police Conduct, Criminal Cases Review Commission, Security Services, HM Courts and Tribunals Service, and so on. Some students opt to undertake further research, and go on to study Masters by research on criminal investigation topics of their choice. If successful in joining the police, you would be required to undertake a diploma in policing within the first two years of your police service.

Entry requirements.
Additional entry requirements
GCSEs and their equivalent
Generally, offers will be made in terms of UCAS Tariff points but there are exceptions to this. Some courses require you to achieve specific grades in the qualifications you are taking and for some you will need to have studied a particular subject at Level 3 (A-level, BTEC, IBCP, OCR or equivalent). This will be made clear when an offer of a place is made.
For a small number of courses there is either a national or a University requirement to achieve grade C passes in specific GCSEs or the equivalent. From summer 2017 GCSE English and Maths exams are now graded 9 (highest) – 1 (lowest) instead of A-G. From summer 2019 all GCSE’s will be graded this way. We will require applicants to achieve four or higher for those courses with GCSEs as part of the entry requirements. If you do not have GCSEs, the University will only accept Level 2 credits from accredited Access courses completed in 2014 or earlier as the equivalent to GCSE passes.
Some courses, particularly those in the health and education subject areas, have their own additional entry requirements for instance English and Maths GCSEs, or evidence of work experience. Please check individual course entries on our website for specific requirements.
Accepted qualifications The University considers applications from those with a wide range of general qualifications that attract UCAS Tariff points either on their own or in combination with others.

Functional skills at Level 2 are accepted for the Adult, Child and Mental Health Nursing degrees and for Midwifery, Occupational Therapy and Operating Department Practice. However, the University does not currently accept functional skills at Level 2 as the equivalent of GCSEs passes for any other degree programmes that recruit via UCAS. O-Levels sat in, or after, summer 1975 must be at grade C or above. CSE grade 1 is accepted as equivalent to GCSE at grade C.

Access qualifications We welcome applications from people who have, or are taking, an accredited Access qualification. Please check the tariff calculator on www.ucas.com to work out your UCAS Tariff points.

Degrees with a foundation year
Foundation degrees and Diplomas of Higher Education Generally applicants will be required to have 48 UCAS points inclusive of at least one A Level or equivalent.
We will consider applications to the second or third year of degree courses from suitably qualified applicants.

up to a maximum of 50% of the total credit points required for an award, usually for learning which has occurred during the previous five years. APL relies solely on the provision of evidence of learning by way of certification from another university or college. Applicants will need to provide appropriate documentation including certificates and details of the awarding body. This process may enable you to build directly onto your existing learning if you are choosing a course of study within the same discipline. Applicants should apply via UCAS.
Non-UK qualifications Non-UK qualifications equivalent to Level 3 study in the UK, GCSEs and the others mentioned above are accepted by the University. Further information on the equivalence of non-UK qualifications can be obtained by emailing: ugadmssions@canterbury.ac.uk or, if you are based overseas, from your local British Council office.

An offer of a place. Applicants for combined courses There are over 20 subjects available within the combined honours scheme at the Canterbury Campus. The majority of subjects make a decision as to whether to offer a place based on the application form. Exceptions include: Creative Writing where there is a written task that applicants without the relevant A-level subjects might be asked to complete, and Dance where there are auditions. However, we reserve the right to interview applicants where we feel this would benefit both the University and the applicant. Once the decision is taken, the University contacts UCAS and they let you know the outcome of your application. We will write to those candidates offered a place inviting them to visit us to meet academic staff, explore the campus and there is also the opportunity to visit the local area.
Call us: +44 (0)1227 928000
Applicants for single honours courses The majority of subjects make a decision as to whether to offer a place based on the application form and, as above, you will informed of the decision by UCAS. For a number of single honours courses the University will select applicants for interview/audition. These include our range of Music and Performing Arts courses, Diagnostic Radiography, Journalism, Midwifery, Nursing courses, Occupational Therapy, Operating Department Practice, Paramedic Science, Primary Education and Social Work. However, this list is not exhaustive and the University reserves the right to interview applicants for any subject where we feel this would benefit both the University and the applicant.
The interview The aim of the interview/audition is threefold. Members of the academic staff will firstly want to explore with you your motivations for choosing the subject and secondly, your
168
knowledge of the subject area to which you have applied. Finally, the interview will give you the opportunity to meet academic staff and question them about the course and the University. Always remember that the interview is a two-way process. You need to assess whether the University is the right one for you. Once the decision is taken, we contact UCAS and they let you know about the outcome of your application. You should normally expect to hear from them within two weeks of your interview/ audition, unless we inform you otherwise. For more information, visit: www.canterbury.ac.uk/ interview
Information for applicants requiring DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) clearance If an offer of a place is subject to a DBS check, this will be stated in the relevant course entry on the online prospectus. We will assist you in the process of gaining your DBS enhanced disclosure certificate with further details provided once we progress your application. For more information visit www.canterbury.ac.uk/DBS
The framework for higher education qualifications
in England, Wales and Northern Ireland In this prospectus the structure of most courses is broken down into years (Year 1, Year 2 etc). The higher education framework uses levels rather than years, as it recognises that not all students study full-time. Within the prospectus each year equates to a ‘level’ as follows: CCCU HE Credit Minimum Designation Level Credits Year 1
4
120
Year 2 Year 3
5 6
240 360
Part-time students typically study for half the time of full-time students. Therefore, for a part-time student ‘Year 1’ will take two academic years, ‘Year 2’, a further two academic years and so on. Further information on the framework for higher education qualifications in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland can be found at: www.qaa.ac.uk
Equivalent Level Qualifications (ELQs) An Equivalent Level Qualification (ELQ) is a qualification that is the same level of study, or lower, as one you already hold. For instance, if you apply to study a BA in English but you’ve already completed a BA in History, this would be an ELQ. If you plan to study for a qualification at the same level, or lower, you may not be eligible for any financial support towards your tuition fees and living costs – though there may be exemptions in certain personal circumstances. New students on most pre-registration Health courses are exempt from the ELQ rule, meaning you can access a second set of loans.
Selection and Admissions policy There is a University Selection and Admissions policy, copies of which can be obtained by writing to the Assistant Director (Admissions), Canterbury Christ Church University, North Holmes Road, Canterbury, Kent CT1 1QU or go to Downloads at: www.canterbury.ac.uk/ undergraduate-courses
Complaints The University has policies and procedures in place for responding to applicants’ complaints about the way in which we handled your application. A copy of the policy and procedures relating to complaints can be obtained from the Assistant Director (Admissions) (see address above) or go to Downloads at: www.canterbury.ac.uk/ undergraduate-courses
Funding your degree. Higher education is free at the point of entry for most students through a Tuition Fee Loan.* You may be able to get help with living costs too.
The Government, via the Student Loans Company, offers loans to cover your tuition fees and assist with your living expenses while you are studying. Tuition Fee Loans are available to most students who meet the relevant eligibility criteria for fulltime and part-time higher education courses (the latter has to be at a 25% intensity of a full-time course), except those who already have a higher education qualification. It is possible to access a student loan if you are studying a PGCE as a second degree. Students studying nursing, midwifery and most allied health professional subjects as a second degree are also able to obtain student loans. Students in England on nursing, midwifery and most allied health professional (AHP) undergraduate pre-registration courses will have access to the standard student support package of tuition fee loans and support for living costs. Further information regarding funding for Health students can be found on www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk, the NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) website. Students are advised to check the website on a regular basis for the latest funding information.
At the time of going to print information concerning funding for new entrant EU students 2020/21 was yet to be confirmed.
