The various components leading to the awarding of the degree are defined in terms of disciplines, interdisciplinary programs, subjects and sequences. A discipline is a distinct area of study in which a major can be taken. An interdisciplinary program is a distinct area of study comprising subjects from more than one discipline. A subject is a prescribed amount of work extending over a semester at a certain-year level within a discipline or interdisciplinary program.
In most disciplines there is more than one subject at a given level. A student must spread first-year work over at least four disciplines, the compulsory psychology sequence and three disciplines offered by the School of Humanities and Social Sciences.
The value of a subject is expressed in points and a normal year's work for a full-time student is forty-eight points.
