Specific degrees and their requirements

 


Information applicable to all or most degrees

Supplementary information (add to section with same name following each Degree Requirements section)

  • "Most students will do most of their 100-level courses in their first year, most of their 200-level courses in their second year and most of their 300-level courses in their third (and fourth) years. Particular preference should be given to prerequisite courses, being those required before you can do a certain higher level course.
  • Disclaimer that the calendar is the authoritative source of degree and major requirements
  • If in doubt seek advice.

Tool tips (add to section with same name on each degree page)

  • 100-level: These are basic level courses, usually studied in your first year
  • 200-level: These are intermediate level courses, usually studied in your second
  • 300-level: These are advanced courses, usually studied in your third and subsequent years
  • Elective course: Any course from this university
  • For the first mention of each course code on the page: Subject name (as per GUS p.123)

Thoughts and questions about the approach to all degree pages

  • Every mention of every course will have the course code and the name (i.e. we won't ever use the course code on its own for page content).
    • All these course instances will link to Course Finder for the outline for the course.
  • For the structured degrees I have stated explicitly (on a points or course by level basis) the elective requirements, which would enable the user to avoid summing all the course points to check against the degree rules.
    • I am reluctant to do this for the more flexible degrees (due to the proportion of choice), meaning the user will have to. Is this okay?
  • Bullets notes under the numbered requirements are suggested content to supplement/surround the requirements. Some are quotes from GUS, others are the essence of the idea for Anne Nelson (Unlicensed) to write up

BBSc

Where the selection is from any subject area but at least some points count towards a rule other than the total degree points.

 

Small c"cluster" of related courses (les than a minor)

13Number of majors 

Satisfy the requirements for a minimum of one major subject.

BAS

Values will be one or a minimum of one

Could be used to cover minors

14OtherEntry to second yearEntry to the second year is based on academic performance across all the first year courses. Historically, a B+ average has been sufficient to be selected.BASAlso LLB. Maybe others
