A Combined Honour Course is a course constructed from two Honour Schools so as to fora an integral whole, and approved by the Faculty of Arts as equivalent to a single Honour Schoоl. The Faculty normally requires at least four of the main subjects from each of the two Honour Schools together with such other subjects as are considered necessary to provide a background for the main subjects or to effect unity in the course as a whole.
A Combined Honour Course may also be constructed from subjects of an Honour School and four Music subjects taken at Honour standard, and approved by the Faculty as equivalent to a single Honour School.
The subjects of a Combined Honour Course must be taken at the Annual Examinations or, where so prescribed, at the Final Examinations.
The courses given in detail below have been approved by the Faculty. Other Combined Honour Courses constructed on similar lines may also be approved.
Candidates taking a Combined Honour Course should make themselves familiar with the preambles to, and the details prescribed for, each of the two I-IQnQot Schools. In particular, they should note:
(1) that Combined Honour Courses with Mathematics are approved only for Pure Mathematics;
(2) that English in a Combined Honour Course may be combined either through English Literature or through English Language;
(3) that a knowledge of Latin is most desirable for all Combined Honour Courses of which French forms a part.
(4) that admission to the Second Year is conditional upon satisfactory performance in the First Year, and will normally be granted only to candidates who have obtained Honours (usually at least Second Class) in each of the main subjects of the course.
( 5 )In a number of Honour Schools and Combined Honour Courses, Special courses in some foreign languages are prescribed. These courses are available in French, German and Russian.
The Special courses are designed to assist students to develop facility in reading in a foreign language works related to the studies of their Honour Courses. The scope of the First Year of these Spccial courses is less than that of Part I or Part IA, and the language work of the Seсоnd and Third Years is linked with the main fields of study of those years. Details of the French Special Course and the German Special Course are published in this Handbook on pages 165 and 168.
In courses in which 'Language Study' is prescribed or recommended, students may take a three-year Special language course or Part I or Part IA of a foreign language. Students who complete Part I or Part IA of a modern language will be required to take also, at the end of the Third Year, a comprehension test in that language. They are advised to attend the classes provided in the Second and Third Years of the Special Course.
Unless the alternative of Honours is specifically indicated in the courses below.
candidates who wish to take a supporting subject at Honours standard must seek special approval.
