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 programme requirements and details.
- 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
Rule types
| Type | Subtype | Example | Example degree (major) | Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Points | Total | Total points required: 360
| All degrees | |
| 2 | Points | By level | Maximum of 180 points from 100-level courses | BA | Could include: max or min value; "an additional" |
| 3 | Points | By degree (ie schedule) | Minimum of 240 points from BA courses | BA | Could include: max or min value; |
| 4 | Points | By level and by degree | Minimum of 180 points from 200 and 300-level courses listed for the BAS | BAS | Could include: max or min value; |
| 5 | Points | By subject | |||
| 6 | Points | By level and by subject | An additional 15 points from 300-level BIOL, BMSC, BTEC or CHEM courses | BBmedSc | Could include: "an additional"; "Minimum of"; multiple levels, multiple subjects |
| 7 | Specified course(s) | Exact |
| BA (Chinese) | Singular or multiple (max so far is 8) Will we always show all? |
| 8 | Specified course(s) | From a list | One of the following regional-based courses:
| BA (Developement Studies) | Short or long. Have to decide threshold for when to show all by default or show only some. |
| 9 | Specified course(s) | From a range | An additional 20 points from 200 and 300-level BIOL, BMSC or BTEC courses. | BBiomedSc (Human Generitcs) | Or is this really a Points by Level and Subject? |
| 10 | Substitution | Course substitution: SARC122 may be replaced with an elective course if you:
| BAS | Could include: A recommendation that the course be done even when it could be substituted | |
| 11 | Elective courses | Standard | An additional 30 points from elective courses. | BAS | No conditions, as these points are only required to meet the total degree points requirement. |
| 12 | Elective courses | Conditional | An additional 30 points from elective courses.
Part 3 in BE
| 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) |
| 13 | Number 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 | |
| 14 | Other | Entry to second year | Entry 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. | BAS | Also LLB. Maybe others |
| 15 | Other |
