Comments
(a) Students who have completed the First Year must be approved by the Faculty of Arts as candidates for the Degree with Honours before entering the Second Year of the Honour School. The Professor of History will normally recommend such approval for candidates who have gained First or Second Class Honours in British History and Ancient History Part I. Candidates who have failed to gain First or Second Class Honours in these subjects, but who wish to continue in the Honour School, should interview the Professor of History, who will be guided in his recommendation . by the merits of the case. Such students, if allowed to continue in the Honour School, may be required to take special papers during their Second Year in British History and Ancient History Part I.
A student who has not attempted Honours in these subjects but who, at the end of the First Year, wishes to enter the Honour School, must make special application to the Faculty through the Sub-Dean for permission to do so. If such permission is granted, the Faculty will prescribe what further work must be cоm- pleted before the student is allowed to proceed to the Final Examinations.
(b) Students may also be advised to attend other lecture courses which are regarded as relevant to their work.
(c) The second and third years of the Honour course are regarded as form- ing a continuous whole. Candidates who, during their second year, have made satisfactory progress in the History subjects of this year, will be admitted to the third year of the School without formal examination in these subjects. Can- didates whose progress in these subjects during the first two terms is not for this purpose considered satisfactory will be notified at the end of the second term that they must sit for an Annual Examination at the end of the second year.
(d) The Final Examination is divided into two parts.
Part I is taken at the end of the third year and counts equally with Part I1 towards the final result. Part I consists of one 3-hour paper in each of the following: Language Study, British History, Ancient History Part I, and in three of General History Part I, General History Part II, General History Part III and Ancient History Part II.
Part II of the Final Examination is taken at the end of the fourth year and consists of one 3-hour paper in each of Theory and Method of History and General History Part IV, together with an essay of not more than 9,000 words . on an approved subject. The essay must be completed and handed in on the first day of the third term.
Students who have satisfied examiners in Part I of the Final Examination and who are unable to proceed to the fourth year may, with the approval of the Faculty, be admitted to the Degree of Bachelor of Arts (Ordinary Degree).
