Sources
- I-Explore https://www.imperial.ac.uk/study/student-life/imperial-education/i-explore/
Imperial describes I-Explore as an undergraduate requirement to choose one credit-bearing module from a broad interdisciplinary range.
Model elements: free elective choice: the module counts toward the degree and is chosen outside the main discipline.
- Chemistry BSc https://www.imperial.ac.uk/study/courses/undergraduate/chemistry-bsc/
The three-year BSc page shows core modules, optional ancillary modules and I-Explore inside the degree structure.
Model elements: lower duration bound; course choice inside a fixed degree structure.
- Biochemistry BSc https://www.imperial.ac.uk/study/courses/undergraduate/biochemistry-bsc/
Biochemistry shows the same pattern: compulsory core, optional-module groups and a degree-integrated I-Explore module.
Model element: the free interdisciplinary module recurs beyond a single programme.
- Medicine MBBS/BSc https://www.imperial.ac.uk/study/courses/undergraduate/medicine/
The medicine page shows a six-year professional undergraduate pathway and the presence of I-Explore with timetable restrictions.
Model elements: upper duration bound; course choice remains programme-constrained.
