In Year 3 of the MPharm degree at the University of Nottingham, many of the students undertake 20-credits of "broadening horizons" optional modules, chosen from a wide and diverse range from across the university. This study presents student views regarding their module choices and on their performances with such diverse module choices of varied levels. Follow-up surveys and focus group discussions with alumni will determine the contribution of this breadth to a student's education, in providing them with a different perspective on life, to their chosen profession and future career paths.
