Introduction

Students in the Faculty of Arts may choose their subjects from a wide range. Some students have a clear idea, before coming to the University, which subjects they wish to concentrate on; others have not yet made up their minds. Since all students must take 9 subjects, furthermore, even those who have decided what to specialise in have the opportunity of taking one or more subjects which they have not previously considered. Quite a number of the subjects offered are not taught in secondary schools. So it is worth giving some thought to the choice of subjects and consulting with members of the University staff or with the Dean or Sub-Dean before coming to a decision. Whilst there is not a lot of point in taking a subject just because it is new, it is worth considering all the possibilities open to you. Some students specialise in one or perhaps two subjects: others prefer to extend over a wider field. In either case, there are many possible permutations. Students concentrating on certain subjects may well find it sensible to combine other particular subjects with their first choice(s), since these are complementary fields of study. In other cases, equally, there is no particular merit in combining certain subjects rather than others. In part, the decision depends on the subject, in part on the way it is approached in this University and in part upon the interests of the individual student. It is often the case that students' interests change somewhat during the course of the first year or so in the University: the lesson to be drawn from this is that you should keep as many options open during the first year as are compatible with your main interests - so that you have room to manoeuvre in the second and subsequent years. Confronted with such an array of subjects from which to choose, you may well feel some confusion at first - the golden rule is, if in doubt, ask. Many students select their subjects as a consequence of a long-standing interest and because the particular subjects are of especial appeal to them. Others are less concerned with intrinsic attributes of a particular subject and are more concerned with sharpening their general intellectual apparatus. Yet others have clear vocational objectives in mind - and, of course, the likelihood is that in the back of the mind of every student is the recognition that, at some stage before too long, he or she will be confronted with the choice of a career. Some courses of study in the Faculty of Arts have direct vocational relevance - e.g. for school teaching, for administration, for "the caring professions", for town and regional planning. A substantial proportion of graduates in Arts enter such occupations, in which they practise the special skills, techniques and knowledge which they have acquired in their studies at University. But many students - as in other Faculties in the University - enter the wide range of administrative, managerial,

3

commercial and industrial occupations in which they make use, not so much of the specialist knowledge which they have acquired at the University, but of the ability to think clearly and to plan ahead and co-ordinate, which is a consequence of the serious study of any or all of the subjects :presented in the Faculty of Arts.

. .

StudOJrta, who: have, a particular career jn mind are most welcome to eonsu1~withmembers olthe academic staff about an appropriateclioire ofsubjeetB. Those who Me less clear about what occupation to aim at are equally. welcome; at any stage, to. discusS' possibilities with members of the. aeade.mic: staff and/or with the Cai"eers Officer in the Careers amlJ Stttdmlt Emplo)llllellt Office.

(2) Under By-law 5.4.2.2(2) it is required that a part-time student shall have passed at least four subjects at the end of the fourth year of attendance.

(3) The Faculty Board will review all cases of students whether part-time or full-time, who in their first year of attend~nce have a record of complete failure, and may take action under By-law 5.4.1.2. .

(4) Unless there are justifying reasons, failure in a subject for the second time automatically excludes a student from further enrolment in that subject, and exclusion from two subjects automatically excludes a student from the degree course.

SCHEDULE OF SUBJECTS The following subjects, taken in accordance with the Degree Requirements (see page 14) may be counted towards the B.A. degree.

STANDING IN THE COURSE LEADING TO THE DEGREE OF BACHELOR OF ARTS

The Facult~ B,?ard may, on such conditions as it deems appro riate grant stand~ng 1!l res~ect of work completed before or after ad~ssio~ to the Uruverslty, eIther at another institution approved for thi purpose. by the. Faculty Bo~rd or within another Faculty of th! Uruverslty, provlde~ that credIt shall not be given to any candidate fo more than four subjects. r The 1?rovisions of the above paragraph notwithstanding, a candidate who IS an. undergraduate of another faculty of the University who trans~ers his enrolment to the Faculty of Arts may be granted such standmg as the Faculty Board deems appropriate. Types of Standing 1. Specified Subjects Standin~ in a specified subject may be granted only when a candidate has satisfactonly completed work deemed by the Dean on the

22

~.

recommendation of the Head of the appropriate Department to be equivalent to a subject listed in the Schedule of Subjects approved for the degree.

2. Unspecified Subjects Standing in unspecified subjects may be granted in either of two circumstances:

1. when a candidate has satisfactorily completed work deemed to be equivalent to a subject which, though not listed in the Schedule of Subjects, could reasonably be offered in the Bachelor of Arts degree course (e.g. in a field of study such as Politics or Italian);

2. on certain conditions, when a candidate has satisfactorily completed a three-year full-time course leading to the award of the Diploma in Teaching at Newcastle College of Advanced Education or a course deemed by the Faculty Boar4 to be equivalent. Further details of Faculty policy in this respect are set out on page 24 of this Handbook.

Status granted by any body other than this University does not in itself carry any eligibility for standing.

Restrictions on Standing Candidates fall into two main groups: 1. Candidates transferring from another Faculty in the University who

have not already graduated Where subjects listed in the Arts Schedule of Subjects have been passed in another Faculty or other Faculties, all such subjects may, subject to the degree Requirements, be counted towards the B.A. degree; where work completed in another Faculty or other Faculties is considered by the Faculty Board to be equivalent to one or more Arts subjects, standing in all such subjects may be granted; provided in both cases that none of the work has been counted towards another degree. 2. All other candidates A maximum of four subjects applies to standing granted in respect of subjects counting towards a degree conferred in another Faculty of the University or to standing granted in respect of work completed at another university, college or institute. Continuation of Degree Course Elsewhere Any candidate who, having been enrolled at this University, wishes to complete work at another university, college or institute in order to claim standing in respect of this work is strongly advised to write to the Secretary to the University before enrolling, giving details of the proposed programme of work.

Further Information Candidates are reminded that it is their own responsibility to ensure that their programme complies with the degree Requirements. Any enquiries should be directed in the first instance to the Faoulty Secretary (extn 695).

l~~ STANDING FOR COURSES TAKEN AT COLLEGES OF ADVANCED EDUCATION

The University Senate has decided that specified or unspecified standing may be granted to applicants who have completed Master's degrees, Graduate Diplomas, Bachelor's degrees or Diplomas in Teaching at Colleges of Advanced Education providing (i) that the courses are registered by the Australian Council on

Awards in Advanced Education as PG2, PGI, UGI or UG2 courses respectively, and

(ii) that at least one-third of the course completed by virtue of which standing is sought covers material similar to that of a degree course at an Australian University, and

(iii) that in no case will standing be granted which amounts to more than half of the subject requirements for the degree.

The following policy applies in the Faculty of Arts: (a) If the work for which standing is sought is deemed similar in

content and standard to a subject or subjects offered in the Bachelor of Arts degree course, or which could reasonably be offered in such a course, standing may be granted for not more than four subjects at the time of admission. These subjects may be named or may be unspecified.

(b) If the work is not deemed similar, applicants who qualified in 1972 or a later year for an approved qualification (listed below) will be granted no standing on admission, but as each of two Part I subjects chosen from the list given below is passed at the first attempt, standing will be given for another (unspecified) Part I subject, and as each of two Part II subjects is passed at the first attempt, standing will be given for another (unspecified) Part II subject.

Candidates who have a comparable qualification gained before 1972 which is deemed academically equivalent to those listed below may also be eligible for standing in the Faculty of Arts. Qualifications approved for the purposes of section (b) include:-(i) A diploma awarded by any Australian college of advanced

education in one of the following fields, provided that the course leading to the diploma lasted at least three full-time years.

Primary Teaching Lower Primary (Infants') Teaching Secondary English/History Teaching Secondary Mathematics Teaching Secondary Geography/Commerce (Social Sciences) Teaching Home Science/Textiles Teaching Science Teaching Industrial Arts Teaching Music Education Art Education Physical Education Teacher Librarianship Special Education

24

(ii) Certain qualifications awarded overseas in one of the fields mentioned above following a course of at least three years of full-time study.

The Faculty will keep this list under constant review and other diplomas may be added in due course. Where only some of the work for which standing is sought is deemed similar in content and standard to a subject or subjects offered in the Bachelor of Arts degree course, standing may also be granted under both of sub-headings (a) and (b), but iIi no case will standing in more than four subjects be granted in respect of work completed at tertiary institutions other than the University of Newcastle. Thus if a student has passed in addition to an appropriate diploma course one or more subjects at another university, he may still receive standing in no more than four subjects, leaving him five more to pass to satisfy the degree Requirements. (In such a case, standing in one or more subjects would be granted at the time of admission, and in the remainder in accordance with (b) above.) The list of Part I subjects at present approved for the purpose of (b) above is:

Classical Civilisation I Geography I Linguistics I Mathematics I Philosophy I Psychology I Sanskrit I Sociology I

Drama I German IS or IN Economic History IA Greek I Economics IA History I English I Japanese I French IS or IN Latin I

Sanskrit has no Part II or Part III subject.

Some examples of course structures which might be planned by applicants eligible for standing under section (b) are given below. The time taken is shown as the minimum for a part-time student. The course can be taken at a rate of one subject per year.

for degree A stutlent who is granted standing in another faculty for work done at a college may not be able to claim similar standing in the Faculty of Arts if he transfers. A Part I subject is normally a prerequisite for

25

a Part II subject, and similarly a Part II subject for a Part III subject within each discipline. The exception is Education II, for which the prerequisite is passes in three other subjects. The Faculty of Arts will not permit double counting of subjects when granting standing. For instance, an applicant who had previously been credited with subjects towards the degree of Bachelor of Arts in this University and had in consequence been exempted from part of the Diploma in Teaching course, would be ineligible for any concession under (b) above, but would not lose the subjects previously credited. Enquiries on standing should be addressed to the Faculty Secretary, (extn 695).

NOTES ON COMBINED DEGREE COURSES

Arts/Engineering

For further details refer to the Faculty of Engineering Handbook.

Arts/Mathematics

The details of the combined course follow simply from the Requirements for each degree. Each degree requires nine subjects so the combined course requires 18 subjects less four subjects for which standing may be given; thus the combined course should contain 14 subjects. The B.Math. requires Mathematics I, Mathematics I1A, Mathematics I1C, Mathematics IlIA and either Mathematics IIIB or a Part III subject from Schedule B of the Requirements. This leaves nine subjects which must clearly satisfy the Requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts.

Normally the course would be pursued in the following manner:

Year I

Year II

Yearm

Year IV

Mathematics I and three other first year subjects passed with an average performance of credit level or higher.

Three second year subjects including Mathematics IIA and Mathematics IIC and another subject which should be a first or second year subject for the degree of Bachelor of Arts.

Mathematics IIIA plus two other subjects which must include at least one third year subject.

Either Mathematics IIIB or a Schedule B subject from the Requirements for B.Math., plus two other subjects which will complete the Requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts.

Arts/Science

The combined degree course would consist of 14 subjects with at least one Science Part III subject, at least one Arts Group I Part III subject from a different department and not more than six first year SUbjects. Normally the course would be pursued either as follows:

26

Year I

Year II

Yearm

Year IV

Four Science Part I subjects passed with an average performance of credit level or higher.

Three Science Part II subjects and an additional subject which will be an Arts Group I Part I subject if no Arts Group I subject has been passed.

At least one Science Part III subject and two other subjects including an Arts Group I Part II subject if no Arts Group I Part II subject has so far been passed. By the end of this year at least three Arts Group I subjects must be passed.

One subject, which is an Arts Group I Part ill subject if this requirement has not already been met and is from a department different from that providing the Science Part ill subject, and two other subjects to complete the Requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts.

or as follows:

Year I

Year II

Four Arts Part I subjects passed with an average performance of credit level or higher.

Three Arts Part II subjects and an additional subject which will be a Part I subject chosen from the B.Sc. Schedule if no subject included in that Schedule has been passed.

Yearm At least one Arts Group I Part ill subject and two other subjects including a Science Part II subject if no Science Part II subject has so far been passed. By the end of this year at least three subjects from the B.Sc. Schedule of Subjects must be passed.

Year IV One subject which is a Science Part ill subject if this requirement has not already been met and is from a department different from that providing the Arts Part ill subject, and two other subjects to complete the Requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science.

Guide to Subject Entries

Subject outlines and reading lists are set out in a standard format to facilitate easy reference. An explanation is given below of some of the technical terms used in this Handbook. (a) Prerequisites are subjects which must be passed before a can

didate enrols in a particular subject. The only Prerequisites noted for topics are any topics or subjects which must be taken before enrolling in the particular topic. To enrol in any subject which the topic may be part of, the prerequisites for that subject must still be satisfied. Where a prerequisite is marked "( advisory) ", it refers to a pass in the Higher School Certificate. In such cases lectures will be given on the assumption that a pass has been achieved at the level indicated.

(b) Corequisites refer to subjects or topics which the candidate must either take before enrolment or be taking concurrently.

(c) Examination. The By-Laws provide for "annual examinations" to be held in subjects offered. However, not all Departments base their assessments on formal written examinations. Some attempt has been made to indicate for each subject how the assessment of the students' ability is likely to be made, where this has been decided before the Handbook goes to press.

(d) Texts are essential books recommended for purchase. (e) References are books relevant to the subject or topic which,

however, need not be purchased.

.. DEPARTMENT OF DRAMA The ,aim of the Department is to develop an understanding of theatre as a medium. This involves the study of plays as texts for performance, a critical analysis of some of the techniques of the actor and the director, theatre history, and theories of drama and theatre. In the course of these aotivities a considerable amount of practical work may be necessary but this will fall short of the amount required of a trainee actor and will differ considerably in its emphases. Since the concern is not with actor training, students do not need to be particularly talented as performers. They will not be compelled to appear on stage in public and their practical work will not be assessed in terms of their excellence as actors. On the other hand, opportunities will be provided for those students who wish to do so to take their practical work through to the point of performance, usually by means of project work outside the normal teaching hours. In the study of texts emphasis will be placed on those forms of drama which are viable in the contemporary English-spealcing theatre or have exercised a powerful influence on contemporary thinking about drama and theatre.

DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS

The Economics units in the Arts degree are arranged rather differently from th<?se in the Bac.he~or of Commerce degree and the Bachelor of EconOmICS degree. It IS Important that students show clearly on their enrolme!lt form the Arts subject in which they wish to enrol followed by the tItle of each component of that subject. The subjects and their components are shown below. Students. following a ~ajor sequence in Economics will attempt EconomICs lA, EconoID:lcs IIA, a~d Economics IlIA. However any student may also enrol III EconomIcs lIB provided he has completed Economics IA. Econo?lics IIIB may also be selected by students who have passed EconomIcs IIA and have enrolled in or have passed Economics lIlA.

44

Students who intend to complete a major in Economics would be well advised to devise a programme which includes Economic History, Geography, History, Psychology, Sociology, a language such as Japanese, in appropriate cases, or Mathematics. Those students who have a sound background in mathematics should note the possibilities for combining Mathematics and Economics units in the degree programme, while concentrating on aspects of quantitative economics. Members of the staff of the Department will be available during the enrolment period to advise students on appropriate combinations of subjects, which will suit their requirements and interests. Candidates for an honours degree in Economics are normally expected to enrol in Introductory Quantitative Methods and Economic Statistics II (or Statistical Analysis) at an appropriate stage of their course. All candidates intending to select Economic Statistics II, Statistical Analysis or Econometrics as part of the second or third year Economics units are asked to note the prerequisite arrangements shown at the end of the following list of subjects. It should be noted that, compared to the situation before 1977, the components of a number of Economics units in the Arts degree have been altered. Consequently, students who have previously enrolled in a component and passed the Economics unit of which it is a part will not be allowed to enrol in that component again. Furthermore, students who passed Economics IA prior to 1977 will not be permitted to enrol in the Introductory Quantitative Methods component of Economics lIB because this component is similar to and replaces Economic Statistics I.

The course is directed towards explaining why Japan was able to industrialise so swiftly after 1868 while China and Indonesia (Java), which had been amongst the richest parts of the world in European medieval times, came to rank amongst the poorest by the twentieth century. The comparative economic history of Japan (since 1600), China (since 1368) and Indonesia (since ca 1400) are compared with respect to the evolution of the market economy, the size and distribution of economic surplus, the growth of cities, dualism between the modern and traditional sectors, the role of private entrepreneurship. and government policy.

The course begins with an analysis of 'pure' or theoretical models 01 social economies and the rationale of contemporary operationaf systems. Variants of each paradigm are then studied with reference to relevant case study material, including examples of compound socialism, market socialism, democratic socialism and significant mixed systems. Attempts at the rationalisation of operational systems currently in evolution in the underdeveloped world are thim made, followed by the consideration of the convergenCe hypothesis of economic systems.

This course considers theories dealing with the way in which collective decisions about resource use are arrived at. It will study theories of the government regulation of the economy, the efficiency of various forms of democracy and other social arrangements for arriving at collective decisions about resource use. The theory of coalition formation, the role of pressure groups and of bureaucracies in the allocative process will be discussed and economic theories of voting will be considered. Marxist and other views of impact of changing economic systems on evolution of political systems are also examined. Topics like the future of democracy in the light of economic developments, the government of firms, the role of firms in government, trade unions and government and the government of trade unions are touched on in the ,course. The course takes account of developments which marry economics and politics such as theoretical developments due to Downs, Buchanan and Tullock, Lipset, Bierstedt, Bland, Hayek, Schlesinger, Freidrich, Spann and Dahrendorf.

The course commences with a discussion of the nature of underdevelopment and the development problem. The problems of defining and measuring development are dealt with. Attention is then focused on . development and underdevelopment in a historical perspective.

64

Subsequently, the dualistic socio-economic structure of. the typical underdeveloped country is investigated. Some theoretical models of development in a dual economy are then advanced. We then try and understand why development in the less developed countries has not proceeded along the line indicated by these theoretical models. An alternative four sector theoretical model is introduced which is claimed to accord more with the realities of under-development. The obstacles to development highlighted by this model leads into the policy section of the course where issues such as investment allocation criteria, agricultural development, import-substitution vs. exportexpansion, choice of technology, regional integration, human resource development, and financing development are taken up.

The first part of the course will deal primarily with planning models both in command systems and in mixed economies, and with technical aspects of the implementation of planning, e.g., input-output systems, linear programming and shadow prices. In the second part of the course emphasis will be placed on planning applications.

The significance of contemporary economic analysis cannot be appreciated fully without an awareness of the thought of earlier economists. Such awareness provides perspective for judgment of the strengths and weaknesses of the analytical tools and techniques fashionable in currently orthodox economics. A perspective based on consideration of economic thought in the decades immediately preceding "the Keynesian revolution", the popularisation of econometrics and other notable developments. The period dealt with ranges from 1890 to the mid 1930s. British economic thought from Alfred Marshall to John Maynard Keynes and American economic thought from John Bates Clark to Wesley C. Mitchell and leading Continental contributions are considered.

One 3-hour paper

There are three broad sections in the course. The first - about 10 percent of the course content - deals with the special characteristics of the demand for and supply of agricultural products and the problems

. which arise from these characteristics. Comparisons will be made with the demand and supply situation for products produced in the industrial sector. The second component (about 40 percent) discusses some of the measures that have been adopted to support and stabilise agricultural' incomes. Attention will be given to the resource allocative effects of these measures and to examples of the empirical assessment of the effects of the measures that have been adopted.

: r.

The final section of the course (about 50 percent) will concentrate specifically on agricultural policy in Australia. As well as discussing policies in operation for specific commodities, the course will examine the general question of the tariff compensation argument as a basis for protection to agriculture.

The purpose of this course is to develop an awareness of the limitations and strengths of basic economic theory in guiding policy which is aimed at improving the economic welfare of society. The course starts with an appraisal of welfare maximisation by the classical marginal approach, together with modem refinements. It traces the development of criteria for welfare iDlprovement, discussing compensation tests and the problems encountered in using individual preferences to derive acceptable social choices. A section is devoted to the empirical application of welfare criteria. The course concludes with an appraisal of the role of power in economics, and a discussion of models of conflict as found in orthodox economic theory, game theory, bargaining theory and theories of social choice.

General

The subjects offered by the Department comprise English I; English llA, English 1m, English nc; English IlIA, English 11m, English IIIC; and English IV. The main emphasis in the courses is placed on critical analysis of the texts, within the perspective of the literary forms and historical periods to which they belong.

The Department offers predominantly modem courses in English I and English 1m. Those students who wish to complete a major sequence in English, however (and especially' those who wish to go on to English IV), are expected to broaden their historical perspective beyond the literature of more recent times.

Students entering English II therefore need to consider whether they intend going on to English III (and perhaps to English IV). Those who do must take English lIA and may take, in addition, either or both of the remaining English II subjects. Those who do not may choose freely among the English II subjects. (Those who do not wish to continue but who later decide to do so will be able to take English IIA in a subsequent year).

Students entering English III must take English IlIA and may take, in addition, either or both of the remaining English III SUbjects. (Please note that, in the second half of English IliA either Victorian Literature or 20th Century English Literature may be studied and that, in the first half of English IlIB, either American Literature (2) or Renaissance Literature may be studied).

Students are advised to consult the Department about subjectsequences. Special consideration will be given to those whose degree pattern presents them with particular difficulties. These will include students coming back to the Department after a period of years and students coming here from other Universities.

Subject to demand, Old English and Middle English courses in English IIIC will eventually be offered in alternate years. In 1978, however, as a transitional arrangement, a short course will be offered in each area in English IIIC.

Students wishing to take an Honours degree in English must read English IV. Students will be accepted into English IV at the discretion of the Head of Department. In order to qualify for entry to English IV, a student must normally have, either, (a) passed at Credit level or better in an English III subject and passed in at least four other English subjects, or, (b) passed in a major sequence of English and one other major sequence.

Intending students of English IV should note that this is a full-time subject. Part-time students may take English IV, but will normally be required to study it in two halves, over a period of two years.

These will be followed by exercises in the use of source material. Each student will also be required in the later stages of the course to present a "work-in-progress" seminar on his thesis.

(c) (if) 374109 War and Society In this course, of approximately twenty seminars, students consider the inter-relationship between warfare and society - with special reference to the 19th and 20th centuries. After briefly looking at the history of warfare in ancient, mediaeval and early modem periods, and the changes brought about by the French Revolution and Napoleon, students tum their attention to the impact of industrialisation on warfare, from the American Civil War to the First World War. They then consider the theories of war put forward in the inter-war years, and their operation in practice in World War II. The course ends with a study of the philosophy of warfare; its relationship to politics and society; its results and the possibility of avoiding it in the future.

DEPARTMENT OF LINGUISTICS Linguistics is the study of the structure. and functioning of language. In particular, it seeks to discover what IS common ~o the structure ?f ALL languages, so that the basic principles by WhICh they 'York wIll be understood. It therefore has natural common border~ wIth other language subjects, including El!glish. It is not essentIa} to hav.e expertise in a foreign language m order to study the subject, but It

104

would make good academic sense to couple Linguistics and the study of any other language. Linguistics bears on the relationship between language and thought, and has among its special interests the acquisition and development of language in children, and the interaction of language and society. Thus it has important connexions with such subjects as Education, Philosophy, Psychology, and Sociology.

DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS

Preliminary Notes The Department offers and examines subjects. Each subject is composed of topics, each single-unit topic consisting of about 27 lectures and 13 tutorials throughout the year. Each of the Part I, Part II, and Part III subjects consists of the equivalent of four-single-unit topics. For Mathematics I, there is no choice of topics; for Mathematics llA, lIB, IIC there is some choice available to students; for Mathematics IDA and IllB there is a wider choice. No topic may be counted twice in making up distinct subjects. (Students who passed some mathematics subjects before this arrangement of subjects was introduced should consult the "transition arrangements" set out on p.155 of the 1970 Faculty of Arts handbook, and p.76 of the 1973 Faculty of Mathematics handbook. Note that the "code letters" for the topics may vary slightly from year to year.)

Progressive Assessment From time to time during the year students will be given assignments, tests, etc. The student's performance in this work will be taken into account in the following manner. (a) For the implementation of By-law 5.4.1.1 which deals with

unsatisfactory progress. A copy of this By-law appears in the General Supplement supplied with this Handbook.

(b) Where a student's performance during the year has been better than his performance in the final examination, then the former will be taken into account in determining his final result. On the other hand, when a student's performance during the year has

.been worse than his performance in the final examination, then his performance during the year will be ignored in determining his final result.

PART II SUBJECTS

The Department of Mathematics offers three Part II Mathematics subjects. Students whose course restricts them to one subject must study Mathematics IIA or Mathematics lIB. The subject Mathematics IIA is a pre- or corequisite for Mathematics IIC, and IIA and IIC together a prerequisite for any Part ill subject, so students wishing to take two Part II subjects would normally choose Mathematics IIA and IIC. Students taking all three of the Part II subjects would study all eleven of the topics listed below. Summaries and extended booklists for these topics will appear in the handbook of the Faculty of Mathematics and wiII also be available from the Department.

FRENCH

General

The following subjects are offered: French IN, French IS, French IIA, French lIB, French lIS, French IlIA, French IUB, and French IV. The aim of the course is to develop proficiency in the French language and, by this means, to afford students direct access to the civilisation, and particularly the literature, of France and other French-speaking countries.

The two normal methods of progression are as follows: Either

French IN French IIA (+ French lIB) French lILA ( + . French IIIB) French IV

(Students admitted to French IV are expected to have passed French IN, IIA, lIB, IlIA and IIIB, and to have shown a high level of performance over the earlier years of the French course. Under special circumstances, and at the discretion of the Head of the Department, students with a pass in fewer than five subjects in French may be accepted into French IV);
