student examination (p. 13). It includes at least three of the examination subjects of the faculty. To pass the examination the student must make a total of at least 6 credit units and at least the mark "approved with praise" in two of the subjects.

Professional examination in philosophy (filosofie ämbetsexamen).— Like the candidate examination the professional examination in philosophy is open to one who has passed the student examination. In the Humanistic Section of the faculty it comprises one of the following subject groups:

1-4. Nordic languages, history of literature with poetics, and one of the following: Latin, German, English, history.

5. Latin, Greek, classical antiquity, and ancient history.

6. Latin, history.

7-9. German, English, Romance languages. (any two)

10. History, geography.

The prescribed subject groups of the mathematics-natural science section are:

11. Geography, botany, zoology.

12. Mathematics, physics.

13. Physics, chemistry.

14. Chemistry, botany, physics.

With a group of two subjects a third subject must be selected from among those of the same faculty section except in the case of mathematics which may serve as a third subject in either section. If botany or zoology is selected as a third subject the examination includes both of these subjects. The same applies in the selection of either Nordic languages or history of literature with poetics. Further, students who do not include pedagogics as a subject of study must take a semester course in psychology and the history and theory of pedagogics.

To pass the professional examination in philosophy the student must make a total of at least 7 credit units (betygsenheter). If the student selects a group of two subjects, he must make at least the mark "approved with praise" in each of these subjects. Including the credit units made in his selected group the student must arrange the selection of his additional subject or subjects so as to have a total of at least 6 points in the following subject area: Theological philosophy, history of literature with poetics, history, classical antiquity and ancient history, political science, Latin, Greek, Nordic languages, German, English, Romance languages, pedagogics, geography, mathematics, astronomy, physics, mechanics, chemistry, geology and mineralogy, botany and zoology.

Since success in the professional examination in philosophy qualifies for appointment as adjunct (adjunkt) or lower teacher at a gymnasium (p. 10) the information requirements in subjects corresponding to those of the secondary school are determined by the requirements for qualification as teacher at this school and by the prescribed regulations concerning

such qualification. Thus, Romance languages means French; Nordic languages and literature with poetics means Swedish; while botany and zoology correspond to biology.

Licentiate examination in philosophy (filosofie licentiatexamen).—Qualified for admission to this examination is one who has passed the professional examination in philosophy, the candidate examination in philosophy, or the examination in political science. The examination includes at least one of the examination subjects of the faculty in which the student must make at least the mark "approved with praise" and in which he must write a thesis approved by the examiner.

Supplementary examination (efterprövning).—A student who has passed the professional examination in philosophy, the candidate examination in philosophy, or the licentiate examination in philsoophy may take a supplementary examination according to the requirements of the examination concerned in a subject not included in the examination, or in order to obtain a higher mark in a subject included in the examination. Only one supplementary examination may be taken in the same subject. The mark made in a supplementary examination carries the same weight as the mark made in the original examination.

Examination in political science (statsvetenskaplig examen).—The examination in political science may be taken either in the Faculty of Philosophy or in the Faculty of Law. In the Faculty of Philosophy it is called the political science examination in philosophy; in the Faculty of Law the political science examination in law. For admission to the examination the student must have made at least the mark "approved" in history and in at least one modern language in the student examination, or in an examination supplementary to the student examination. Qualified also is one who has passed the professional examination in philosophy, the candidate examination in philosophy, or the candidate examination in law.

Political science examination in philosophy (statsvetenskaplig-filosofisk examen).—The subjects of the political science examination in philosophy are economics, statistics, political science, geography, history, practical philosophy, and mathematics. Of these the examination always includes the first three. In addition the student may select any subject or subjects he may wish from those of the Faculty of Philosophy.

To pass the political science examination in philosophy the student must pass satisfactorily the 1-semester propaedeutic course in law (p. 35) and make a total of 7 credit units in at most 4 subjects. In meeting the latter requirement the student has three optional arrangements. He may arrange to earn all 7 credit units in the 3 required subjects-economics, statistics, and political science. In which case he would have to make

the mark "praiseworthy" in one subject and at least "approved with praise" in each of the other two; or earn 6 credit units in the 3 required subjects and make at least the mark approved in one of the remaining 4 examination subjects (history, geography, practical philosophy, mathematics) or earn 5 credit units in the three required subjects with at least the mark "approved with praise" in 2 of them, and make at least 2 credit units in one of the 4 remaining examination subjects.

Theological philosophical examination (teologisk-filosofisk examen).-This examination constitutes the shortest and most usual route to theological study in preparation either for the ministry or for teaching. The examination is offered by the Faculty of Philosophy but is connected closely with theological study. Qualified for admission to the theological philosophical examination is one who in the student examination or in an examination supplementary to the student examination made at least the mark "approved" in Latin and in history.

The examination includes an oral examination in Greek and Hebrew, and in either Latin or theoretical philosophy. In addition to these required subjects the student may include both Latin and theoretical philosophy and (or) history. To pass the examination the student must make at least the mark "approved" in each of the three required subjects. The normal period of preparation for the examination, including only the required subjects, is about 3 semesters.

An examination supplementary to the theological philosophical examination may be given in a subject not included in the examination, or for attainment of a higher mark in a subject already included in the examination. A supplementary examination, however, may be taken only once in the same subject.

Special examination for candidates and licentiates in theology (särskild prövning för teologie kandidater och teologie licentiater).—A student who has passed an examination in the Faculty of Theology and who wishes to qualify for the year of probational training prescribed for secondary school teachers may take a special examination in the Faculty of Philosophy according to the requirements of the professional examination in philosophy insofar as they are applicable. Such examination should comprise either Nordic languages and history of literature with poetics, or one of the subjects Greek, Latin, history. If he wishes, the student may include also one or more of the examination subjects of the faculty. Unless pedagogics is included in the examination the student must take in addition the course in psychology and theory and history of pedagogics. In special instances and for valid reasons the faculty may on request grant the student permission to take the prescribed tests for the course without having attended the course.

FACULTY OF LAW

(Juridiska Fakulteten)

General. According to the Royal regulations of June 20, 1935, the Faculty of Law is charged with the duty of providing for its students instruction with due regard to the examinations of the faculty and to the compulsory military service. For this purpose lectures are offered each year and to the extent the faculty finds it purposeful, scientific exercises and courses of instruction adapted to the requirements of the approved examination concerned.

For each of his examination subjects each instructor must present to the faculty his requirements for the mark approved in the candidate examination in law and in the political science examination in law indicating the extent of informational attainment expected, the list of required reading, as well as the lectures, courses of instruction and exercises

in which he expects the student to participate. If the faculty finds the examination requirements too high, it should reduce them to what it considers the proper level. Should the faculty member concerned so wish, the decision of the faculty will be presented to the Chancellor for approval. Degrees in law. -The degrees conferred by the Faculty of Law are: Candidate in law (juris kandidat), usually written "jur. kand.”—This requires 9 semesters of preparation beyond the student examination and success in the candidate examination in law.

Master in political science (politices magister), usually written "mag. pol."-This requires 8 semesters of preparation beyond the student examination and success in the political science examination in law.

Licentiate in law (juris licentiat), usually written "jur. lic."-This requires about 3 years of preparation beyond the candidate examination in law and success in the licentiate examination.

Doctor of law (juris doktor), usually written "jur. dr.”, may be attained by a licentiate in law after the preparation, publication, and public defense of an approved dissertation on some phase of his licentiate examination major.

Examinations.-The examinations in law are the candidate examination in law, the political science examination in law, and the licentiate examination in law.

Candidate examination in law (juris kandidatexamen).-Qualified to take this examination is one who in his student examination or in an examination supplementary to his student examination made at least the mark "approved" in each of history, introduction to philosophy, Latin, and a modern language.

The subjects of the examination are divided into two groups represented by Parts I and II of the following plan of studies. Among the subjects of Part I the student may omit either Roman law or economics. The tentamen in a subject may be taken at the end of the semester indicated or at the beginning of the following semester. The period of semesters of validity of the tentamen in each subject is indicated by the number in parentheses. Before taking his tentamen in any of the examination subjects except economics and State law with common law the student must have completed a 1-semester propaedeutic course in civil law comprising a total of 64 class hours, including 42 hours of the fundamentals of judicial procedure and 24 hours of penal law. After completion of his tentamina in Part I and before admission to a tentamen in Part II he must have completed also a practical course aiming to acquaint him with various types of legal transactions and to furnish him with the necessary illustrative material.
