A fourth or honours year offers an opportunity for more specialised and advanced work in philosophy leading to the degree of BA(Hons). The fourth year can also serve as the first part of a two-year MA by coursework program in philosophy.
Intending honours students are required to have completed a major sequence in philosophy with credit grades in subjects to the value of at least twenty-four points at second or third-year level, including at least sixteen points at third-year level.
Science students who have completed a Bachelor of Science degree with at least sixteen points of philosophy at each of second and third-year levels may seek approval from the chairperson of the department to count up to eight points of relevant science subjects towards a philosophy major.
The department suggests that the above requirements should be seen very much as minimum requirements only. Intending honours students are strongly recommended to:
(i) take an extra philosophy subject at either second or third-year level, worth at least eight points, in addition to a major sequence in philosophy;
(ii) take at least two of the following four subjects at second-year level:
(iv) plan their undergraduate course so as to prepare themselves adequately to take six of the department's fourth-year subjects (see the relevant section in this handbook).
Mid-year entry is offered by this department.
