Named Route/Joint Honours Degrees
Students wishing to study for a joint honours degree in the sciences at Durham University take the named route in Natural Sciences whereby their degree is administered by the Natural Sciences programme (through the sub-dean of science) but the student will graduate with a subject-named joint honours degree, for example BSc Mathematics & Physics. A student in the example course would obtain a degree titled BSc Honours within the Natural Sciences programme in Mathematics and Physics.
Students are free to study more than two subjects in their first year, or to concentrate solely on their two chosen subjects in their first year. However, in subsequent years, joint honours students will study modules only from their chosen two subjects.

“The punters know that the horse named Morality rarely gets past the post, whereas the nag named Self-Interest always runs a good race.”
—Gough Whitlam (b. 1916)
“The route through childhood is shaped by many forces, and it differs for each of us. Our biological inheritance, the temperament with which we are born, the care we receive, our family relationships, the place where we grow up, the schools we attend, the culture in which we participate, and the historical period in which we live—all these affect the paths we take through childhood and condition the remainder of our lives.”
—Robert H. Wozniak (20th century)
“What’s a joint of mutton or two in a whole Lent?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Vain men delight in telling what Honours have been done them, what great Company they have kept, and the like; by which they plainly confess, that these Honours were more than their Due, and such as their Friends would not believe if they had not been told: Whereas a Man truly proud, thinks the greatest Honours below his Merit, and consequently scorns to boast. I therefore deliver it as a Maxim that whoever desires the Character of a proud Man, ought to conceal his Vanity.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
“When a thought of Plato becomes a thought to me,—when a truth that fired the soul of Pindar fires mine, time is no more. When I feel that we two meet in a perception, that our two souls are tinged with the same hue, and do as it were run into one, why should I measure degrees of latitude, why should I count Egyptian years?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
