| * Important: Cognitive Science is one of two "Group
Honours" degrees linking the four subject areas Informatics, Language
Sciences, Philosophy, and Psychology. The central feature of these degrees
is that they involve a "breadth requirement" (a minimum of 80
credit points at Level 8 in each of three subject areas) and a "depth
requirement" (a minimum of 60 credit points at Level 9/10(/11) in
two of those subjects). Although the specific Level 8 requirements for
Cognitive Science are listed here under Years 1 and 2, note that up to
60 credits of required courses in Years 1 and 2 may be postponed to Years
2 or 3, in order to enable students to take other Level 7/8 courses from
Schedules A-Q and to permit changes of degree programme. |
| ** In addition to passing all compulsory courses, entry
to Honours requires either the permission of the relevant Heads of School
or two out of four of the following: a pass at 50% or above at the first
attempt in one of the Informatics 2 courses; a pass at 50% or above at
the first attempt in Linguistics 2A; a pass at 50% or above at the first
attempt in Philosophy 2A; a pass at 50% or above in Psychology 2. Honours
courses must be selected from the subjects passed at these levels, unless
with special permission of the relevant Heads of School. |
| ‡ Documentation giving details, as well as restrictions
on choice of courses in the School of Informatics, will be available for
students entering the year to facilitate advance planning. |
| † Documentation giving details, as well as restrictions
on choice of courses in the School of Philosophy, Psychology and Language
Sciences, will be available for students entering the year to facilitate
advance planning. |
| # Students must take at least 40 points worth of courses
in the school in which they did not take their project. |
