FIRST YEAR LEVEL

At first year level students take the University Core Curriculum modules plus four (4) subjects from the list of approved major and minor subjects in the Faculty, of which at least three (3) subjects should be approved major subjects (cf. G.1.3.2). The normal first year curriculum of a student registered in the BA degree programme will therefore consist of eleven (11) modules (176 credits), compiled as follows:

SECOND YEAR LEVEL

At second year level students proceed with three (3) of the four (4) subjects taken in the first year. The fourth subject (“Subject A” above) is discontinued after its modules/credits at first year level have been passed. The normal second year level curriculum of a student registered in the BA degree programme will therefore consist of nine (9) modules (144 credits), compiled as follows:

Third Year Level

At third year level students proceed with the three (3) subjects taken at second year level. At this point the student must choose his/her two (2) major subjects. The remaining subject will become the minor subject (“Subject B” above). The normal third year level curriculum of a student registered in the BA degree programme will therefore consist of eight (8) modules (128 credits), compiled as follows:

Fourth Year Level

Students are admitted to the fourth year level in the BA degree programme only after they have passed all twenty-eight (28) modules (448 credits) at first, second and third year level (cf. E.4.3.3.1).

The minor subject is discontinued (after all its modules/credits at first, second and third year level have been passed prior to admission to the fourth year level). The normal fourth year level curriculum of a student registered in the BA degree programme will therefore consist of eight (8) modules (128 credits), compiled as follows:
