Geography Major (only for students graduating 2012/2013)

NOTE

• The total number of credits required for the B.Sc. degree is 101, including the 9 credits from the FD courses. Sixty of these credits must be from Levels 2 and 3 of the discipline for a single major, and 64 for a double major. The programme outlined here gives a total of 109 credits, so for a single GEOG major there is some flexibility in the non-GEOG/GGEO courses which do not need to be included for the minimum of 101 credits.
• For a Geography Minor , the selection is of any two Level 2 GEOG courses and any two Level 3 GEOG/GGEO courses, subject to the satisfaction of prerequisites for these courses. The two Level 3 courses must be selected from different groups of courses. If three Level 3 courses are selected, they must be from three different groups; if more than three such courses are selected, the fourth, fifth, etc. may be from any of the three groups.
• Students must have at least two CAPE passes or equivalent to register for a Level I course in Geography or Geology.
• Not all elective courses are available every year.
• Certain combinations of courses are limited by time-table constraints.
• Students intending to read any course(s) in Geography and Geology are advised that it will be necessary to conduct fieldwork on Saturdays. Non-attendance will debar them from final examinations. All fieldwork in Geography and Geology is mandatory.
• Where an examination has a practical or coursework component as well as a final examination, candidates must satisfy the examiners in both parts.
• All four Level 1 courses in Geography must be successfully completed before the student can proceed to Part II courses in Geography.
• All four Level 1 courses in Geology must be successfully completed before the student can proceed to Part II courses in Geology.
