You should note that not all combinations of all modules in all subjects are feasible. Choices are constrained by the limits of the University timetable, which changes every year. There is always at least one route through each defined Joint Honours degree, but because of the very large number of combinations, not all combinations within the broad Natural Sciences degree can be offered.
