The First Year is regarded as a preliminary year, and students who have completed it must be approved by the faculty of Arts as candidates for the degree with honours before entering the Second Year of the honour school. Admission will normally be given only to candidates who have obtained at least second class honours in Modern Government A and Modern History A or British History or Economics A or Philosophy part I. Other candidates who wish to continue in the honour school should interview the head of the department, who will be guided in his recommendations by the merits of the case.
A student who has not attempted honours, but who at the end of the First Year passes in Modem Government A and 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 given, the faculty will prescribe what further work must be completed before the student is allowed to proceed to the final examination.
The Second and Third Years of the honour course are regarded as forming a continuous whole. Candidates who during their Second Year have made satisfactory progress in Modern Government B will not be given a formal examination in this subject. Candidates whose progress in Modern Government B during the first two terms is not considered of satisfactory honours standard will be notified during the third term that they must sit for an annual examination in it at the end of the Second Year.
