Structure and Syllabus
You will be required to make a serious attempt in the
examination for 12 units on the Standard Route of the degree. On
the Graduate Entry Route you must take and pass 9 full units.
You can take the Foundation and Further units in any order,
provided you satisfy any prerequisites (units which you must
have already passed). Most students, however, would normally
take the Foundation units first because (as their name suggests)
they are the 'building blocks' – the foundation – for the units
that follow.
