- Compulsory courses (i.e. core. Departmental courses that students are expected to pass before graduation);
- Required courses (i.e. courses required by the University/Faculty for students to pass before graduation);
- Elective courses (i.e. courses within or outside the Faculty, which students can take and pass to obtain the minimum number of units required for graduation).
Examination and Grading System
- Every course carries 3 units (i.e. 2 hours of lecture and 1 hour of tutorial per week).
- Every course is normally examined at the end of the semester in which it is offered (except His 499: Research Project, which is examined at the end of the second semester).
- Students’ progress is assessed through continuous assessment (i.e. by way of tests, written assignments and other appropriate methods) constituting 30% during the semester.
- Examination at the end of the semester carries 70%. Thus the totality of every grade in each course is based on 100 marks. Read more…
