Modular System

1 PRINCIPLES   In the FASS, we subscribe to two important principles with respect to undergraduate education: 1) Depth and breadth Good undergraduate education involves a balanced combination of depth and breadth. By the end of a degree programme, graduates should know one area well; that is, be aware of its main ideas, of the possibilities and limitations of its methodology, and of its current questions and problems. The best graduates will also be able to devise problems and pose questions of their own in this area. To be properly educated, graduates should also have broad exposure to kinds of knowledge beyond their specialization.   2) Responsibility As undergraduates are mature learners, they should be given the responsibility of determining much of their own programme of study: for instance, the area of specialization, and the scope and nature of their study outside that area. In short, there should be both flexibility and choice.

Modular System It is recommended that all students hold a copy of the Modular System to keep track of their academic career. 2013 Cohort 2012 Cohort 2011 Cohort 2010 Cohort 2009 Cohort Annoucement to 2008 Cohort Students 2008 Cohort FASS92-07 addendum for 2001 - 2007 cohorts 2007 Cohort 2006 Cohort 2005 Cohort 2004 Cohort 2003 Cohort 2002 Cohort 2001 Cohort
