Year I

A student would normally take 30 credit hours in the first year, meeting the distribution requirements of the BA. These courses include:

1. a writing requirement course
2. X/Y.06 (European History), or an equivalent course in a later year
3. a language other than English
4. a social sciences course
5. a natural science course

Note: Completion of the King鈥檚 College Foundation Year Program satisfies the first-year requirements for the European Studies 120 credit hour Major, with the exception of the language course and the natural science course.

Year II to IV

• After the first year, students take a minimum of 54 credit hours from the approved list of courses with significant European content.
• No more than 24 of these may be taken in any one department, and at least 30 must be taken in two other departments.
• At least 18 credit hours should be at the 3000 level or above, taken from at least two different departments.
• The 4000 level multidisciplinary seminar and the second year core course are also required.

Students should aim, with help from the European Studies Coordinator, for a balance in their courses to reflect the three general areas outlined above.

Notes: Completion of the King鈥檚 College Foundation Year Program satisfies the first-year requirements for European Studies, with the exception of the language course and the natural sciences course.

Some students may wish to take another "second language" course in the first year, and postpone one of the other courses until a later year.

Years II to IV

The program consists of a further 90 credit hours including the second year core course and an Honours project. The general requirements for the program are:

• Courses in two contemporary European languages other than English are required. One of these languages is studied up to 3000/4000 level (normally six credit hours each year). The minimum requirement for the other language is six credit hours at the first year level, though students are strongly encouraged to take advanced courses in both languages.
• Students take 66-78 credit hours with significant European content. As this is a multidisciplinary program, no more than 30 credit hours above the 1000 level may be taken from one department. No fewer than 36 credit hours must be taken from two other departments. These may include courses from a language department to fulfill the language requirement, or one of the King鈥檚 Honours programs. At least 18 credit hours must be at the 3000 level or above, taken in at least two different departments. Courses taken during a study abroad year will need to be counted in the above mix.
