Course structure

Fourth-year students take two of the twelve-point subjects listed below and write a thesis (twenty-four points). All students are strongly advised to begin thesis work during the long vacation preceding their entry into fourth year. The dissertation should be between 12,000 and 15,000 words.

Full-time honours students are required to take the thesis in both semesters, and are advised to take one twelve point subject in each semester. Part-time students are required to take the thesis in one year and one subject in each semester of the other year.

Departments may grant an extension of time for submission of the honours thesis or for final coursework up to the last day of the examination period of the semester in which the work is due. Applications for extensions beyond this date must be made to the Committee for Undergraduate Studies.
