DETAILS OF UNDERGRADUATE SUBJECTS

General information

Students should note that essays, exercises and other written work may be set during the year in any of the subjects specified below. This work must be completed to the satisfaction of the lecturer concerned and the head of the department and may be taken into account when assessing the subject at the final examination. Students who fail to submit an adequate amount of work or whose work is unsatisfactory may not be given credit for a subject.

Furthermore, a student must attend such lectures and tutorial classes as well as completing such exercises and laboratory work as may be prescribed in the following details of subjects, and pass the examinations of the subject, and if the faculty board considers that the student has not complied with the prescribed requirements for any subject, the candidate may be refused admission to the examination in that subject.

Except where specified, the duration of lectures and tutorials will be one hour.

Calculators

Students should note that calculators with full alphabetic keys may not be taken into examination rooms.

Preliminary reading

Students are advised to read these books/articles prior to attending their first lecture.

Prescribed texts

These books will form the major part of the course and students must purchase their own copy. Limited numbers will be available from the library.

Recommended texts

Students are advised that one or more of these books should be obtained.

Reference books

Detailed reading guides will be made available either at the time of enrolment or at the first lecture. In some instances, alternative arrangements for the issuing of reading guides will be indicated in the departmental chapters which follow.
