Transferring into Stage 3 Single Major in Archaeology, Philosophy, Economics or Politics.
Who is eligible to apply for a Single Major?
You are eligible to apply if you are a Stage 2 student in BHSOC010 (CAO code DN700) already studying one of these four subjects (as a Joint Major, Major with Humanities Minor, Major with Language Minor, or as a thematic degree).
Which Subjects are available in Single Major?
- Archaeology
- Economics
- Philosophy
- Politics and International Relations
How and when do I apply?
You may apply to transfer into a Single Major programme to the school of each subject. The deadline for transfer applications is the end of May 2022. Applications will be approved by the end of June 2022. If successful, you will begin Single Major studies in September 2022, and finish your degree as such.
Different subjects have different conditions for allowing the transfer (see below). Each subject has a designated contact for applications.
Why specialise to a single major?
By the end of Stage 2, you will have established your initial knowledge base of the two or three subjects that you have been studying, and ready to build on this through Stages 3 and 4. Intensive study of a single subject in Stages 3 and 4 would allow you to develop a deep and broad command, and would be excellent preparation if you are already considering a Masters course in that subject. A Single Major requires 50 credits of subject modules in Stage 3 and another 50 credits in Stage 4, together with 10 credits of electives in each year.
What does not change in your degree:
- Total credits required for your degree: 240 ECTS, meaning 60 ECTS per stage.
- The modules and grades that you achieved in Stages 1 and 2 will remain on your transcript, and your Stage 2 results will still contribute to your final GPA.
- The Social Sciences programme team remains the same.
- You will still have opportunities to study abroad or undertake a 30 ECTS internship in Stage 3 (although new conditions may apply)
