Students are expected to submit a detailed outline of their Research Project by the end of their first semester of Honours level study. The submission of a written report, up to 15,000 words at the end of the program. A 30 minute talk, including a 5 minute discussion, towards the end of the program. Each subject consists of 24 hours of lectures presented in one 2-hour session per week during either first or second semester. Full details of these subjects are set out in the KCSS booklet which is available from the Mathematics and Statistics department office from mid October, 2000.
Subject selection requires departmental approval.
In some cases, approval may be given to substitute subjects of comparable standard from other areas such as Mathematics and Statistics, Economics and Computer Science. Examinations are held at the end of each semester. All KCSS subjects are of equal weight. The program involves completion of an Advanced Coursework subject and a Research Project subject. An H3 average will be required in the subjects that are prerequisites for the Honours level subjects the student plans to study.
