| * 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 a pass at 50% or above at the first attempt in one of
the Informatics 2 courses, and one out of three of the following: 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 at the first attempt in Psychology 2 and a pass in the
combined mark of the statistics components of the Psychology 2 degree
exams.
Honours courses must be selected from the subjects passed at these levels,
unless with special permission of the relevant Heads of School. |
