Important notes to 2nd Major students:
- All Philosophy core courses must be completed in NTU.
- All 2nd Major courses must be read as GER-Unrestricted Electives.
- Our School will grant an exemption to 2nd Major students from 2 GER-Prescribed Elective courses. Exemptions will be in the GER-PE-Any category worth a total of 6 AUs. These 6 AUs will be transferred to the GER-Unrestricted Electives basket to give them ample room to complete their 2nd Major.
- Additional 10 AUs will be allocated to the GER-Unrestricted Electives basket so that students can take courses outside their 1st and 2nd Majors.
- Students will graduate with a BA (Hons) degree in their 1st Major and the 2nd Major will reflect on the final transcript.
