| Year 4 |
Assessment for your degree, at the end of year 4, is on the basis of 12 Units of Assessment (UoA), each of which corresponds to 20 credits out of the 240 that compose the two Honours years (years 3 and 4). To find out what those Units of Assessment are, it is essential that you consult the DRPS. In DELC, for each language, Language Paper 1 constitutes two UoAs; the Oral is one UoA; and each “option” is one UoA. Depending on your curriculum and course choices, you may also do a Dissertation (two UoAs), Year Abroad Essays or Long Essays (one UoA each), and / or Language Paper 2 (one UoA). |
