Modules 2012/13 (New Scheme) | Department of Mathematics

This page lists all modules available to undergraduate students who start their course from academic year 2010/11 onwards.

First Year modules
Second Year modules
Third Year modules
Masters modules (for those taking the MMath)

For each single-subject or combined programme you will find a page in the menu on the left that explains the possible module combinations.

The module descriptions have been approved by the Board of Studies, and it is the Board's expectation that the advertised syllabus for each module will be covered. However, the module descriptions do not constitute a legal contract.
