A Minor Programme is a coherent course of study
providing significant depth in a certain area outside
that of the major, within or outside the student’s
department.
The MC-requirement for a minor
programme should be at least 24 MCs, of which up to 8
MCs may be used to meet the requirements for both the
minor and a major or another minor. In the case of a
minor programme co-hosted by two departments, at least
12 MCs must be from outside the student’s major
department and in the case of a minor programme hosted
by one department, at least 16 MCs must be from outside
the student’s major department. The MCs under the
Unrestricted Elective module requirements can be used to
satisfy the minor programme requirements.
This
requirement takes effect from the date of implementation
of the new Undergraduate Curriculum in the respective
Faculty, that is, AY2001-2 for the Faculty of Arts and
Social Sciences and AY2002-3 for the Faculties of
Engineering and Science and Schools of Business,
Computing and Design and
Environment.
The CAP score for modules classified
within the Minor Programme(s) will be counted towards
degree classification.
The minor programme(s) will be
reflected in the student’s transcript.
The following two minors are offered to
students outside the School of Computing:
Minor in Information Systems is the new
name for Minor in Management of Information Technology
and starts in AY2004-5.
Computing students can offer to read
any cross-faculty minor subject to availability. Please
consult the respective host faculty/department offering
the cross-faculty minor programmes.
The
School of Computing students reading any cross-faculty
minors prior to the date of implementation of the New
Undergraduate Curriculum must not have more than 50%
overlap in the total MC in Minor requirements towards
the total MC requirement for graduation. This applies to
those graduating with at least 105 MC and 135 MC for the
3-year and 4-year degrees respectively. The exception is
the Minor in Technopreneurship.
