| * Important: Mind and Language is one of two "Group
Honours" degrees
linking the four subject areas Informatics, Language Sciences, Philosophy,
and Psychology. The central feature of these degrees is that they involve
a "breadth requirement" (a minimum of 80 credit points at Level
8 in each of three subject areas) and a "depth requirement" (a
minimum of 60 credit points at Level 9/10 in two of those subjects). Although
the specific Level 8 requirements for Mind and Language are listed here
under Years 1 and 2, note that up to 60 credits of required courses in
Years 1 and 2 may be postponed to Years 2 or 3, in order to enable students
to take other Level 7/8 courses from Schedules A-Q and to permit changes
of degree programme. |
| † Students who take Informatics 1A and Informatics
1B and Computational Foundations of Cognitive Science 1 are
not required to take Logic. |
| †† Students must take either Philosophy
of Science 1 or Introduction to Philosophy 1B before taking Philosophy
2A. |
| ‡ Criteria for entry to Level 10 courses: Normally,
a pass at the first attempt in Linguistics 2A and Linguistics
2B, with an average across these courses of 50% or above, a pass of
50% or above at the first attempt in Philosophy 2A, and either Psychology
2 or one of the second year Informatics sequences. |
| ** This course is offered only every second year, so will
be taken in either the third or fourth year depending on its availability.
*** Choice of Level 10 courses: students are required to take a minimum
of 60 credits points in each of two of the four subject areas Philosophy,
Psychology, Language Sciences and Informatics, and to do their dissertation
on a topic that links those two subject areas. See degree handbook for
further details. |
