See 3.1 Admissions and other requirements under 3.5 Graduation.

Students interested in applying for Honours should discuss their plans with and seek the advice of the Department. 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.

The program requires the completion of at least nine and no more than twelve full-course equivalents in German including:

• German 349
• German 591*

A micro-focus (two full-course equivalents) in a closely related Field (such as History 413.01, 413.02) is strongly recommended.

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 349, or 302, 315 and 349, 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. In addition to the academic requirements, the Honours Thesis grade must be "A" or "A-" if the Department is to recommend the candidate for First Class Honours, and must be at least "B" if the candidate is to be recommended for Honours.

Students should also note they must satisfy the general Faculty requirements for Honours programs.
