THE DEGREE STRUCTURE

 

THE MODULES

 

There are four possible modules of study that may be entered after First Year:

  • Honors Specialization (9.0 or more specified courses)
  • Specialization (9.0 or more specified courses)
  • Major (6.0-7.0 specified courses)
  • Minor (4.0-5.0 specified courses)

The modular degree structure affords the opportunity to combine various subjects from different Departments and Faculties. The chart below shows how modules can be combined in the three different types of degrees offered. The modules taken must fit within these degree structures. Departments, Schools, Faculties and Affiliated Colleges may offer some or all of the above modules. See Faculty and Department listings for details. Combinations other than those listed below have not been approved; consequently, they may not be taken. Enrolment in some modules may be limited.
