Undergraduate Programmes
The Department of Political Science offers a series of undergraduate programmes designed to meet the needs of students with varying interests. Requirements for each programme are restricted to the completion of a specified number of courses in different fields of the discipline before graduation. For these purposes Political Science courses above the 100 level are numbered according to the field within which they fall. The key to this scheme is the second digit of the course number, as follows.
2 - theory and methodology
3 — public administration, public law, and public policy
4 - local and regional politics
5 — comparative politics (more than one country)
6 — comparitive politics (specific countries)
7 — the political process
8 — international politics
with the number 9 reserved for special courses which are not regarded as dealing with a particular field of the discipline.
Students choosing a three-year General programme in Political Science (see the University’s requirements for the General Programme on p. 99) will normally complete, before graduation, the equivalent of five full courses in Political Science beyond the 100 level, of which three must be from three different fields of the discipline as defined above.
Students choosing an Honours programme in Political Science (see p. 100) must complete, before graduation, the equivalent of nine full courses in Political Science beyond the 100 level, of which four must be from four different fields of the discipline as defined above. Honours students may elect to pursue a series of connected courses as a minor programme in a related discipline such as Anthropology, Economics, Geography, History, Philosophy, or Sociology in consultation with the departments involved.
3 Joint Honours Programme
4 Minor Programme
