Glossary of Terms

4.31.5 BA Honours German

A. FACULTY OF ARTS REQUIREMENTS

Students must adhere to the applicable Faculty of Arts requirements in 3.4 Graduation.

B. MAJOR-FIELD WITH HONOURS REQUIREMENTS

Students must successfully complete a minimum of 9.0 and a maximum of 12.0 full-course equivalents in the Field of German while fulfilling the following requirements:

1. Core Course: German 349.

2. Honours Thesis: German 591.

3. German Options: An additional 8.0 full-course equivalents from the Field of German.

C. DEGREE OPTIONS

The BA Honours German can be taken with Cooperative Education. See section 3.4.5 Co-operative Education Programs for information and requirements.

Notes:

Students interested in applying for Honours should discuss their plans with and seek the advice of the Undergraduate Director. Upon admission each student will be assigned a departmental advisor who will assist with program planning and course selection, and the designation of the thesis supervisor.
It is strongly recommended that students develop a supporting area of focus consisting of at least two full-course equivalents in a closely related Field (such as History 413.01, 413.02).
Students intending to embark on an Honours program with German as a Major Field of study should note that the sequence of German 221, 223, 315 and 342 is felt by the Department to provide the best foundation for Honours-level work in senior courses. Students will find it to their advantage to have background in one or more of the following Fields: Comparative Literature, English, Greek and Roman Studies, History, Linguistics, Philosophy and Romance Languages.
German 357 and 359 are delivered in English and may be repeated for credit. However, a maximum of two half-course equivalents of German 357 and/or 359 and a maximum of two half-course equivalents from German studies in a different discipline, subject to Departmental approval, may be credited towards a degree.
In the final year the student must take German 591 (Honours Project). This will require the preparation of an Honours Thesis under close departmental supervision.
