DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY

 

SYLLABUS FOR GENERAL DEGREE, (SPECIAL) AND JOINT HONOURS DEGREE PROGRAMMES

 

The syllabus provides for a five year course (from Preliminary year) leading to the Honours and Joint Honours degree.  The Honours and Joint Honours courses are covered in years 4 and 5.  the General degree programme ends in years 4.

 

COURSE LENGTH IN YEARS 4 AND 5

In years 4 and 5, a unit course system is introduced. The length of each course is specified in terms of units of lectures and units of practical work. One unit of lecture is 10 hours work i.e. 1L=15 hours (normally five 3-hour blocks of practicals).

 

MINIMUM LOAD OF DEGREE SCHEME

Students taking Honours in geology (single Honours) are required to take a minimum of 25 lectures units and 30 practical units (including all core courses).  Joint Honours students are required to take a minimum of 12 lecture units and 16 practical units (including a minimum of 8 lecture units and 12 practical units from the core courses).  Students reading for the General degree will do the asterisked courses of the core and optional courses for the Honours programmes.

 

OPTIONAL COURSE SELECTION

Selection of optional courses would depend on staffing other consideration.  Selection would therefore be made with the guidance of a staff member delegated with this responsibility.

 

DEPARTMENTAL ENTRY REQUIREMENT

In addition to the normal requirements for entry into the Faculty, the department requires that students who wish to continue with geology after Preliminary year must also be offering chemistry at Intermediate year.  In cases where such students are not formally registered for chemistry they would be required to audit Intermediate year chemistry lectures in inorganic and physical chemistry and take the continuous assessment tests.
