This cluster of courses is common to the second and third years of study. Note to students: there are courses in this list that are for third-year students only. Note to students: pay attention to the prerequisites for the courses in this list. Note to students: not every course in this list is offered every year. A second-year student who is considering taking courses from this list in his/her third year should check with the course lecturer if the course will be offered next year. A student who is interested in registering for guided research may register for one of the following courses, 70317 or 82519, after obtaining permission from the Head of the Department. Given that all undergraduate students are required to take at least one course given in English, we offer a number of courses in English, as indicated in the course descriptions.
