Department of Geography and Geology, University of the West Indies

NOTE:

The total number of credits required for the BSc degree is 101, including the 9 credits from the FD courses. Sixty of these credits must be from Levels II and III of the discipline of a single major, and 64 for a double major. The programme outlined here gives a total of 109 credits, so for a single GEOL major there is some flexibility in the non-GEOL courses which do not need to be included for the minimum of 101 credits.
For a Geology Minor , the selection of GEOL courses is of any two Level II GEOL courses and any two Level III GEOL/GGEO courses, subject to the satisfaction of prerequisites for these courses, and subject to the rules regarding the selection of GGEO courses from different groups.
• Students must have 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.
