MASTER OF ARTS
104-601 SCHOOL OF CLASSICAL STUDIES
Candidates for the degree may proceed In one of two ways:
1. By thesis only.
2. By a shorter research essay and by course-work. The research essay will normally be about half the length of the thesis submitted by a can- didate proceeding to the degree of MA by thesis only.
The course-work will normally be based on a selection of seminar- courses availaЫe for fourth-year honours candidates, provided that no student may repeat a course taken as part of the BA or MA preliminary course. The course-work may also be based, in part or in whole, on background studies to the research essay or such other courses as may be arranged.
There will be special examinations arranged for the course-work.
An entry form for examination for higher degrees must be submitted to the Registrar.
Theses must be submitted not later than 18 March, 1978.
Three copies of each thesis (А4, typewritten, double spaced) should be submitted, one of which will be deposited in the University Library.
The thesis should normally be submitted for examination within two years from the commencement of candidature for MA by full-time can- didates and within four years by part-time candidates.
Except in special circumstances and with the permission of the faculty no thesis or course work will be examined unless the candidate presents for examination within four years from the commencement of his can- didature or,in the event of his having been granted leave of absence for the maximum period of one year, within five years from the commence- ment of his candidature.

DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE Chairman of Department: Professor P. C. Poole, В.Sc., B.Ed. (Q'Id), Ph.D. (Syd.), F.B.C.S.
Students taking Computer Science units will be required to spend time on practical assignments in addition to lectures, practice classes and tutorials. However, the total time involved for each unit should be approximately the same as that for any other science unit of similar level and point score.
NOTE: Irt view of extensive syllabus changes, students should ascertain the required prerequisites from the department. '

200 LEVEL:
Five units are offered by the department at the 200 level. CS212 is offered in the 2nd term as an alternative to CS202 for students who do not wish to specialize in numerical techniques. CS211 in the 1st term Is a special unit which enables a student who has not taken any of the 1st year Computer Science subjects to enter the 2nd year sequence after obtaining a pass in the summer vacation course CS111. Students should note that CS211 can only be taken with the consent of the chairman of the department of Computer Science. CS203 in the 3rd term Is a pre- requisite for most 3rd year units.
