Notes:
- Must read either Final Year Project (PH4421) or Professional Internship (PH4420) or both.
- A grade of A- or better in the Final Year Project is required to be eligible for Honours (Highest Distinction).
- All common core and graduate level courses cannot be mapped to exchange courses. PH4XXX courses can only be mapped to exchange courses as BDE, unless the exchange course is a graduate-level course. Please refer to this page for more information.
