The head of department will normally recommend such approval for candidates who have gained at least second class honours in Italian part L Other candidates who wish
to
continue in the honours school must interview the head of department, who will be guided in his recommendation by the merits of the case.A student who has completed the First Year of the course for the ordinary degree and has passed in Italian part I may, with the permission of the faculty, enter the honour school. Such a student must make special application to the faculty, through the sub-dean, and, if permission is granted the faculty will prescribe what further work must be completed before the student is allowed to proceed to the final examination.
3. In their Second Year, candidates will take the two honour courses, Italian part II Course A and Italian part II Course B, and the second part of their
sub- major or
additional remaining subject. In order to proceed to the Third Year, they will be required to be "recommended to proceed" at the end of the Second Year.130
