For further information about course choices consult:
An optional course may not run if there is insufficient demand for it; some choices of courses may not be available to students in some years because of timetabling constraints.

Year 4
Year Co-ordinator(s):
Dr David Bourne (Edinburgh)
- For an overview of what is in the 4th year courses, click on the Brief Descriptions PDF.
- Some options run subject to demand.
- Students must study 1 mandatory course plus 7 optional courses.
- The courses F10FL and F10TS will run in alternate years.
- The courses F10LG and F10QT will run in alternate years.
- The Year 4 coordinator will inform students on which combination will run in each year.
Some choices of courses may not be available to students in some years because of timetabling constraints. Some course pairs may be excluded, and a list of any that are will be published in the student handbook. Students will only be able to choose at most one course from such a pair, even if they are at different SCQF levels and are taught in different stages.
