Minor in Development and Environment
Richmond American University LondonLondon, United Kingdom
Course overview
A minor is an optional subject of specialisation within the undergraduate degree, outside of the undergraduate major course of study, consisting of at least 12 US / 48 UK credits, from FHEQ Levels 4-6, with at least 2 courses from L5/L6. Undergraduates who add a minor to their major degree programme will normally need to complete more than the minimum 120 US/480 UK credits required for graduation. No more than one course (4 US/ 16 UK credits) may overlap within a degree between a student's major, Liberal Arts Core and any minor.
Students must follow the minor requirements for their academic year of admission, or the year of the introduction of the minor, if this is later than the year of admission. Upon graduation, any minor successfully completed is recorded on the student transcript alongside the major.
