Does studying a joint honours degree with English Literature at Reading mean twice the work?

English Literature and Theatre student Selina speaks about her experience of how joint honours degrees are shaped at the University of Reading.
Joint honours degrees are designed so that you study two subjects equally. For example, on our BA English Literature and Film degree, you would spend half of your time studying English literature and the other half studying film.
Combined honours degrees are designed so that you can study the core modules from both subject areas, but focus on one subject area in greater detail. For example, on our BA English Literature with Creative Writing degree, you would take modules in both subject areas, but a higher proportion would be in English literature.
Either way you will be doing the same number of modules as someone only studying one subject (a Single Honours Degree).
