Please see below for information about which Mathematics modules you can take in each year of your studies.

First Year

You take two 30 credit modules that run during the entire teaching year:

• Calculus MAT00001C (30 credits)
• Core Algebra MAT00002C (30 credits)

In addition, in the Autumn Term you take

• Introduction to Probability and Statistics MAT00004C (20 credits)

And in the Spring/Summer terms you take

• Real Analysis MAT00005C (20 credits)
• Introduction to Applied Mathematics MAT00003C (20 credits)

Altogether you obtain a total of 120 credits in Mathematics.  These module are designed to give you a firm foundation across all areas of mathematics, and provide a platform for specialisation in an increasing proportion of statistics over your three years at the University.

Second Year

Autumn Term: you take Statistics I MAT00010I (10 credits), Applied Probability MAT00001I (10 credits) and Introduction to Group Theory MAT00006I (10 credits).

Spring/Summer Terms: you take Statistics II MAT00011I (20 credits), Complex Analysis and Integral Transforms MAT00003I (20 credits) and Linear Algebra MAT00008I (20 credits).

In addition you choose 30 credits of optional modules from

• Differential Equations MAT00004I (10 credits)
• Introduction to Number Theory MAT00007I (10 credits)
• Vector Calculus MAT00012I (20 credits)
• Groups Rings and Fields MAT00005I (20 credits)
• Classical Mechanics MAT00002I (20 credits)

Up to 20 credits of the optional modules may be replaced with elective modules from other Departments, but you should be aware of any implications this may have for your choice of modules in the final year.  The elective must be at I-level. Altogether you obtain 120 credits.

Third Year

You take the Final Year Project MAT00004H (which must be on a statistics-related topic), together with the following compulsory modules:

Autumn Term:Bayesian Statistics MAT00003H (10 credits) and Generalised Linear Models MAT00017H (10 credits)

Spring Term: Financial Time Series (H level) MAT00038H (10 credits) and Multivariate Analysis MAT00021H (10 credits)

In addition, you choose 40 credits from the remaining third year modules, subject to the necessary prerequisites, but please note the following:

• You normally choose 20 credits from the Autumn Term and 20 credits from the Spring/Summer Term.  Students are permitted to take 30 credits from the Autumn Term and 10 credits from the Spring/Summer Term if they so wish.
• Students wishing to take 10 credits from the Autumn Term and 30 credits from the Spring/Summer Term will require approval from the Mathematics Board of Studies.
• You may take up to 20 credits of M-level modules, but your second year stage average MUST be at least 60%.  The pass mark for M-level modules is 50% and the compensatible fail mark is 40%.  These modules will have the same weight for classification as any H-level module.

Up to 20 credits of optional modules may be replaced with elective modules from other Departments, subject to the above constraints concerning the total number of credits in each term. The elective must be at H-level. Altogether you obtain 120 credits.
