Fourth-year level

Fourth year comprises work to the value of forty-eight points made up as follows:

1 the honours thesis, PLT4049/0 (20 points), written under supervision (this must be shown on all enrolment forms);

2 two of the twelve-point seminar subjects chosen from the list of subjects below;

3 PLT4179/0 Approaches to politics (4 points). This is compulsory and must also be shown on enrolment forms.

The deadline for the submission of final coursework is the last day of the final semester of the honours program. The deadline for the submission of the thesis to the department is the last teaching day of the second semester. Any request for extension of time must be made in advance to the department honours coordinator and, for lengthy extensions, also to the Committee for Undergraduate Studies no later than two weeks before the end of the final semester.

Fourth-year subjects

Fourth-year students enrolling for the BA(Hons) program must enrol in the subjects listed above with codes ending in 9, eg PLT4229 (Abstract communities). Those students taking politics subjects as part of a BEc(Hons) program must enrol in subjects ending in 0, eg PLT4220.

Full-time honours students are required to take the thesis in both semesters, and are advised to take one twelve-point seminar course in each semester.

Part-time honours students are required to take one seminar course in each semester of their first year, and the thesis and the `Approaches to politics' seminar in their second year.
