BSc notes

Of the BSc course, the most important point is that paragraph II on page 122 has not been allowed by the Senate: a nine-unit BSc would not be possible.

The arguments put forward in favour of not allowing stage II and stage III subjects to be done until a certain number of other units have been passed seem reasonable. A prior knowledge of other subjects outside is essential to advanced work in any field, and this applies most to stage III work. More important to some people would be that students' have in the past cut themselves out of Senior Scholarships by taking their stage III subject too early in the course.
