| Number code is the second half of the
course code which consists of a number with four digits. The first digit of the number code signifies the
level for which the course is intended.
Level 1 (i.e. 1000-series)
courses are
introductory, foundation, basic skill type courses, or courses generally appropriate to
the first year of a full-time undergraduate programme.
Level 2 (i.e. 2000-series)
courses are
intermediate level courses, or courses which are generally appropriate to the second
year of an undergraduate programme.
Level 3 (i.e. 3000-series)
and Level 4 (i.e. 4000-series)
courses are
those courses which involve more advanced study skills often requiring Level 1 and Level
2 prerequisites.
Level 7 (i.e. 7000-series)
courses are
postgraduate courses.
In general, there is no requirement that
Level 1 courses be taken in the first year; however, they should not normally be
attempted in the third or final year. Level 2 courses will not usually be taken in the
first year but they may be taken in the third year. Level 3 and Level 4 courses will normally be
taken in the third year or final year.
The second and third digits are assigned
to courses in sequence number order.
The fourth digit signifies whether the
course is a year or a semester course, i.e. 0 for a semester course; 1 for the first
part of a year course, usually offered in the first semester; 2 for the second part of a
year course, usually offered in the second semester. |
