Academic year level of subjects

The faculty is currently ensuring that the first digit of the alpha-numeric code of a subject indicates the academic year level at which the subject is offered. Prospective students are advised that the following definitions should be used as a guide only:
1xxx First-year undergraduate level subjects.
2xxx Second-year undergraduate level subjects that assume prior knowledge of the discipline at the preceding level.
3xxx Third-year undergraduate level subjects that assume prior knowledge of the discipline at the preceding levels.
4xxx Fourth-year level subjects offered in honours and postgraduate diplomas that assume prior knowledge of the discipline at the preceding levels and subjects offered in some graduate courses that build on knowledge gained in an undergraduate degree in a related discipline and relevant employment experience.
5xxx Fifth-year level subjects offered in those cumulative masters degrees that assume prior knowledge of the discipline at the preceding levels, and subjects offered in some other masters degrees that build on knowledge gained through previous study in a related discipline and relevant employment experience.
6xxx Sixth-year level doctoral subjects that assume prior knowledge of the discipline at the preceding levels.
9xxx Accelerated learning subjects offered in graduate courses that assume no prior knowledge of the discipline at a preceding level but build on knowledge and skills gained through previous study in another discipline area and/or relevant employment experience.
