This structure directly reflects the aims and objectives of the programme. The emphasis is not placed on providing specialist training for specific jobs, but rather on providing an education aimed at liberating the mind of the individual and developing the types of intellectual and personal skills that are recognized as important by employers in a wide variety of occupational areas.
1. Major Courses (60 units)
The Major curriculum is divided between Major Required and Major Elective courses. All students in the Programme must take 30 units of the Major Required courses. Students must take a minimum of 24 units of Major Elective courses according to their own interests. Choice of Major Electives needs to be informed, guided and even constrained so as to avoid a random selection of courses lacking cohesion or rationale. The 6-unit Honours Project plays an important part in the Major Programme, affording as it does an opportunity for the exercise of individual initiative and for the development of the ability to synthesize what has been learned in separate courses, including those outside the Major.
