College of Social Sciences

First Year

Registration and enrolment opens from Monday 17th August

In your first year you'll study three subjects:

• Single honours students study the subject on their degree plan AND two others.
• Joint honours students study both the subject on their degre plan AND one other.

In most cases, subjects are split into two courses. 1A runs in the first semester and 1B runs in the second semester. You will need to enrol in both courses on MyCampus. 

When choosing subjects that are not on your degree plan, you should keep two things in mind:

1. By the end of year 1, you must have completed at least 80 credits of qualifying social science courses at level 1. These include the 1A and 1B courses for any of these subjects.
2. The remaining 40 credits do not need to be in the social sciences. We especially encourage you to consider courses in Arts and Humanities. You can find information about the various subjects in the College of Arts and Humanities by viewing their list of undergraduate degrees.

Whatever courses you enrol on, your curriculum should be balanced across the two semesters with 60 credits in each. This is so your workload is manageable across both semesters.
