x          Compulsory Module

o          Optional Module

*           Module is compulsory for MMath Candidates

#          Module available to BSc candidates only

^          In Part C, candidates must choose Mathematics modules of total weight at least 60, Economics modules of total weight at least 40 to make up a total modular weight of 120.

BSc Prj           BSc Candidates must register for either MAC300 BSc Mathematics Project (20 credits) in Semesters 1 and 2 or MAC200 Mathematics Report (10 credits) in Semester 2. In order to study MAC300 candidates will normally be required to have achieved a Part B average >60%. MMath candidates do not study MAC300 or MAC200.

o=>n   Indicates the minimum number of credits to be taken in that subject (subject indicate by first two letters of module code)

oSS     Sport Science optional modules to be chosen such that total modular weight for the year including compulsory modules is 60.

xA oB and oA xB      Candidates on Mathematics with Statistics must choose a path (A or B) for their degree, this will dictate their compulsory modules in Parts B and C.

 

Total Modular Weighting per Semester

Students normally study modules with a total weight of 60 in each semester.  However, in Part C, students may be allowed to study modules up to a total weight of 70 in a semester, 120 in the Part, subject to the consent of the Director of Studies. 

 

Optional Modules

5. Criteria for Progression and Degree Award

In order to progress from Part A to Part B, from Part B to C, from C to D (if applicable) and to be eligible for the award of an Honours degree, candidates must satisfy the minimum credit requirements set out in Regulation XX. 

5.1          Progression for Mathematics BSc, Mathematics with Economics BSc, Financial Mathematics BSc, Mathematics with Mathematics Education BSc, Mathematics with Statistics BSc

Part A to Part B

Candidates must, in addition, achieve at least 40% in 3 out of 4 core Mathematics Modules MAA140 Analysis 1, MAA150 Mathematical Methods 1, MAA142 Linear Algebra, MAA250 Mathematical Methods 2. 

5.2          Progression for Mathematics and Management BSc

Part A to Part B; candidates must, in addition, achieve at least 40% in 3 out of 4 core Mathematics Modules MAA140 Analysis 1, MAA150 Mathematical Methods 1, MAA142 Linear Algebra,  MAA250 Mathematical Methods 2.

Part B to Part C; candidates must, in addition, accumulate at least 50 credits from Business School modules (coded BS****) taken in Part B.

To pass Part C; candidates must, in addition, accumulate at least 30 Credits from Mathematics modules (coded MA****) and at least 30 credits from Business School modules (coded BS****) taken in Part C. 

5.3          Progression for Mathematics and Accounting and Financial Management BSc

Part A to Part B; candidates must, in addition, achieve at least 40% in core Mathematics Modules, MAA150 Mathematical Methods 1, MAA142 Linear Algebra, and MAA250 Mathematical Methods 2 and in the core Business module BSA019.

Part B to Part C; candidates must, in addition, accumulate at least 40 credits from Mathematics modules (coded MA****) and at least 40 credits from Business School modules (coded BS****) taken in Part B.  In addition candidates must achieve at least 30% in BSB005 (Management Accounting) and BSB007 (Financial Reporting).

To pass Part C; candidates must, in addition, accumulate at least 30 Credits from Mathematics modules (coded MA****) and at least 30 credits from Business School modules (coded BS****) taken in Part C. 

5.4      Progression for Mathematics and Sport Science

Part A to Part B

Candidates must, in addition, achieve at least 40% in core Mathematics Modules, MAA150 Mathematical Methods 1, MAA142 Linear Algebra and MAA250 Mathematical Methods 2.

 

5.5          Progression for Mathematics MMath

Part A to Part B; MMath candidates must accumulate 120 credits from modules taken in Part A and must normally obtain an overall average mark of at least 55% in these modules.

Part B to Part C; MMath candidates must accumulate 120 credits from modules taken in Part B and must normally obtain an overall average mark of at least 55% in these modules.

Part C to Part D; MMath candidates must normally obtain an overall average mark of at least 55% in modules taken in Part C. 

5.6         MMath candidates who fail at the end of Part A, B, C or Part D.

Any MMath candidate who fails to achieve the criteria above required for progression from Part A to Part B or Part B to Part C shall have the opportunity to repeat Module Assessments in accordance with the provisions of Regulation XX in order to progress to the subsequent Part.  Alternatively, a MMath candidate may elect to enter Part B/C of the BSc degree programme in Mathematics provided that the candidate has achieved the criteria for progression required for that programme.  Failure at re-assessment will not prejudice this permission to enter the BSc degree programme subsequently.

Any MMath candidate who fails to achieve the criteria for progression from Part C to Part D shall have the opportunity to repeat Module Assessments in accordance with the provisions of Regulation XX in order to qualify to progress to Part D.  The Programme Board may at its discretion award the degree of BSc in Mathematics to any candidate who has satisfied the requirements for that degree.  Failure at re-assessment will not prejudice the candidate’s eligibility for such an award. 

 

Any candidate who, having successfully completed Part C, in unable to commence or complete Part D or fails to achieve the criteria necessary for the award of the degree of MMath in Mathematics may at the discretion of the Programme Board be awarded the degree of BSc in Mathematics with a classification corresponding to the candidate’s achievement in Part B and C assessments and determined on the basis of the weightings given for the BSc programme (below).

6. Relative Weighting of Parts of the Programme for the Purposes of Final Degree Classification

Candidates' final degree classification will be determined on the basis of their performance in degree level Module Assessments in Parts B and C (and D if applicable). The average percentage mark for each Part will be combined in the ratio specified in the following table. 

BSc Candidates

Part B : Part C

1 : 3

Mathematics MMath Candidates

Part B : Part C : Part D

1 : 3 : 4
