Across the 2 years of study, students must take the following courses:

c) A total of 50 credits of optional courses, which must include a minimum of 20 credits selected from the 'Planetary Health (fusion online) - Programme Optional Course Collection'.

The programme core courses and the shared core courses introduce students to skills and concepts that will assist them when studying elective courses and the project. Therefore, we encourage students to take the two programme core courses, along with as many of the EFI shared core courses as possible, during year one.

Please aim to ensure that your credits are equally balanced across both semesters in a year. This is to ensure student workload is balanced.
