Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

General Question About Courses and Courses 'With'?

Ok, so when choosing a course, Universities often have for instance:

Civil Engineering with French
Civil Engineering with Study Abroad
Civil Engineering and Coastal Engineering
Civil Engineering and Environmental Engineering

Q1: What is the difference between 'with' and 'and' in the titles?

Q2: If a University offers BEng Civ, BEng Civ+Env, BEng Civ + Study abroad and the same for MEng (so 6 options in total) . . are they 6 separate courses all together or are they overlapped?

Thank you! :biggrin:

1: "with" indicates a major subject with a minor subject, where most of the time is spent on the major subject. Whereas "and" indicates two equal subjects, spending the same amount of time on each.

2: Not sure what you mean. If you mean are the courses kept separate, then no they're not, there will be a lot of lectures the same and shared content in the courses.

It depends on the uni how similar the courses will be, but sometimes they have a "shared" year where the first year is identical for a number of courses and thus you can choose to change afterwards.
