For the students who do not undertake a dissertation or similar independent study module at Level I or H in their other subject, it is compulsory to do either one of the following two modules. For those students who do undertake a dissertation or a similar independent study module at Level I or H in their other subject, these two are optional modules (even if no student can, of course, do both modules). Furthermore, in order for a Joint Honours student to be permitted to do the 40 credit dissertation at stage III, they must do 80 credits worth of philosophy modules at this level. That is, they must do two other 20 credit philosophy modules in addition to the 40 credit Philosophical Project.
Choose 60 (or if taking Philosophical Project, 40) credits from the following list of options or up to 20 credits of Level I Department of Philosophy modules may be taken provided that all 60 year 3 credits in the other Joint Honours subject are being taken at Level H. This list of modules which follows is indicative, but in any given year, only around 15 of these will run in the ordinary way (with lectures, seminars etc.) Most of the rest will be made available as a 'Special Subject' to students whose Stage 2 marks averaged 60 or better and who elect to take (at most one) of these modules on a more independent basis.
