A scheme for the structure of Approved Courses is set out below under Part A—those courses containing a major subject or subjects, and Part B- the course designed for students who desire a broader and less specialized scientific training, e.g. teachers, librarians, administrators.
The attention of students is drawn to the footnote on approval of courses on page 49 of this Handbook.
PART A
1. The subjects of the Science course, Part A, are set out in Regulation XVI, Section 3 in six groups, I, II, IIIA, IIIB, IV, V.
2. A course usually_ consists of seven or eight subjects and must include four subjects from Group I and at least_ one from Groups IIIA or IV. In addition, one of Science French, Science German and Science Russian must be taken in the First or Second Year of the course unless an appropriate School Leaving Language or 3. The choice of subjects for a course must comply with the table of pre- requisites ; moreover, the three parts of any one subject must be taken in separate years and Part I of a subject must precede Part II, which must precede Part III.
The following table sets out recommended courses in Part A in the various schools, but other courses may be approved. Optional additional subjects are indicated in brackets.

PART B
The structure of the Science Course Part B
is
at present under review by the Faculty. Students wishing to undertake this Course are advised to see the Secretary, Scientific Branch, before enrolling for the Course.*The following courses of study have been approved for candidates who, having qualified for the degrees set out, wish to complete the course for the degree of Bachelor of Science.: In general, candidates will be required. to undertake a minimum of the equivalent of one full year's work subsequent to graduation in the previous faculty.
(i) BACHELOR OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE
(a) Chemistry Part IIIB together with such additional work as the Pro- fessor of Chemistry shall prescribe, which may include Mathematics.
