Combined honours
‘Combined’ honours is the same really as joint honours, but instead of two equal subjects, you might have three (or more, even).
Now the juggling gets to be a real challenge. It’s quite a challenge to complete a combined honours course giving equal weight to all three subjects all the way through and feeling like you’ve really got to grips with them all. You tend to end up dropping at least one of your balls — to continue the juggling metaphor.
But that’s not necessarily a bad thing. It can give you even more time to flirt and fall in love with your subject at degree level before committing to it, forsaking all others.
