First Year – Complementary Studies
The Complementary Studies programme offers all first year students a great opportunity to explore new activities in a range of different areas including creative arts, social sciences, humanities, maths, IT, and sport.
The choice of options varies each year and the aim is to provide the broadest possible range, so there is something for everyone.
You can make up to 6 choices during the online enrolment process. Please make sure you are happy with all of your 6 choices as you are likely to be allocated one of them. If you wish to be considered for a sports team, you must put that team as your first option.
Long or short course?
You can either do one long course or two short courses in your first year. Some of our courses such as membership of a sports team or Duke of Edinburgh will last up until Easter. Our short courses last for only one term. If you choose a short course, you will need to choose another short course at changeover time in January, which you will follow until Easter.
Please click on the categories below to view the Complementary Studies that will be running throughout 2023/24. Within each category we offer a range of short and long courses.
