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 (or words to that effect).

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 the content writers to work on.
