Students must take 4 course units each year. Students must pass at least three course units in order to proceed to the following year, including any core courses. Students who fail Language I are not required to continue with Language II in the second year. Students attaining 40-50% in Language I may be exempted from Language II, if they wish, after consultation with their Personal Tutor and/or the Undergraduate Tutor. Students must take a course for the year for which it is intended. Occasionally exceptions can be made in consultation with the Undergraduate Tutor and the approval of the Associate Dean. Degree title If a student passes Language in Africa and 4 course units in one language then the language may optionally be named in the degree title, e.g. African Studies (Swahili). This option is available for Swahili, Hausa and Somali only. One of the four courses may be an Independent Study Project in which the language is used to a large extent. If this is important to you, please discuss it with your Personal Tutor at the end of year 1 or the beginning of year 2 of your degree.
