This is to guard against students getting away with what are really incomplete BA degrees. Here is how such a BSc degree with Legal Theory as a major might be obtained over three years. The structure of an ordinary BSc is governed, essentially, by your choice of major subjects, and we expect you already to have a reasonable idea of what appeals to you before you start out at university. Major subjects are chosen primarily according to your personal and career interests. Paradoxically, major subjects do not have to be decided once and for all at the start of your first year.
Many students revise their original choice on the basis of experience gained in their first year.
For example, credit in either Zoology 1 or Biology 1 is needed before you can register for Entomology 2. Many third-year or major courses also require a student to have taken specific courses at a lower level in related fields. For example, a Physics major requires credit in Mathematics 1. A wide choice of combinations is allowed in choosing the two major subjects for the degree. The choice of major subjects will determine at least eight, usually twelve, and frequently more of the semester- credits, courses and subjects needed to make up the curriculum for a particular degree.
