First-year sequences

Students may enrol in one subject (in either semester) or in an approved pair of subjects (usually, one in first semester, the other in second semester) to form a first-year sequence in philosophy. The latter would be the normal first-year enrolment in philosophy. Any student may enrol in two philosophy subjects in second semester, provided that the second subject is PHL1040. Approved first-year sequences in philosophy are:

PHL1010 Introduction to philosophy A* and PHL1020 Introduction to philosophy B
PHL1050 Philosophy of science A and PHL1060 Philosophy of science B
PHL1070 Philosophy: life, death and morality+ and PHL1080 Philosophy: time, self and freedom
a combination of two first-year subjects approved as a first-year sequence in philosophy by the first-year coordinator.

A first-year sequence in philosophy is the normal prerequisite for later-year philosophy subjects. However, some later-year subjects have only one (semester) philosophy subject as a prerequisite, and some others have no philosophy prerequisite at all.

* Students may not take 1010 and 1070 without special permission from the head of the department.
