Basic Structure 3 Year BSc Single Honours Single Honours: 3 year degree 120 credits of modules in each year; Modules are 20, 15 or 10 credits; 60 credits (usually) each Semester: Semester 1 Sept-Jan, Semester 2 Jan-June. 1st Year 100 Credits of Compulsory modules (100/120 = 5/6); 20 Credits of Choice, perhaps more Maths, or 'any' other topic. 2 nd Year Essentially 120 Credits of Compulsory modules Possibility of replacing 20 Credits with study in other Schools. 3 rd Year Choose from a wide variety of modules offered by Maths & Stats; 20 Credits of study in other Schools allowed.
Compulsory modules at Stage 1 Stage 1 Single Honours (3 and 4 Year) Compulsory and Core (100 credits) MethodsMAS1601(15, S1) Introduction to Calculus Methods MAS1602(15, S1) Introductory Algebra: Complex Numbers, Vectors and Matrices AppliedMAS1603(15, S2) Multivariable Calculus and Differential Equations StatisticsMAS1604(15, S2) Probability and Statistics Pure MAS1701(10, S1) + MAS1702(10, S2) Sets and Counting; Number Systems Problem Solving MAS1801(10, S1) + MAS1802 (10, S2) These modules assume only the 'common core' of A-level Mathematics. They are taken by all Maths and Statistics single honours students. Financial Maths, Mathematics with Finance and Maths/Financial Maths with Management take all the modules except the two Problem Solving modules.
Optional MAS modules at Stage 1 Stage 1 excluding Major/Minor degree Optional (2 x 10 of 120 credits) MAS1901 (10+0) Optimisation with Constraints MAS1902 (0+10)Dynamics These modules are not compulsory, but we do recommend them. (last year almost all students took all of the optional modules).
non-MAS modules at Stage 1 Reminder: of your 120 credits 100 are Compulsory MAS modules You can take both, one or none of the extra MAS modules The University rules allow you to take any other modules! Subject to: the timetable allowing it the module leader/DPD accepting you (A level, module full) Can be changed in first 2 – 3 weeks (DPD Request Form) The popular choices are those which occur in degree combinations with Maths and Stats: Accounting, Business Studies, Psychology, Economics
Stage 1 Major/Minor Stage 1 Major/Minor Mathematics with Management Financial Mathematics with Management Financial Mathematics Mathematics with Finance 80 credits of Mathematics (MAS1601,MAS1602, MAS1603, MAS1604, MAS1701, MAS1702) and 40 from the minor choice. All modules are compulsory and core, except for ACC1000 for the ‘with Management’ students.
