Language competency levels are listed as a guide, courses may vary based on ability and are
subject to diagnostic testing.
Mode B students undertake their residence abroad in the 2nd half session of level 3.
Students must take their dissertation in Politics because it will not be possible to complete the
Hispanic Studies pre-requisite course, SP35ZB Research Methods, as the second half session of
level 3 will be spent abroad.
Candidates seeking entry to the Junior Honours programme must have accumulated, by award or
recognition, or been exempted from, at least 240 credit points at levels 1 and 2, including the
prescribed courses required to enter programme year 3.
