Structured Elective in Mathematics with Applications.
Sciences, including the Life Sciences, are becoming more computational and
mathematical. Modelling and simulation using mathematical concepts play a
major role in current research.
Q. What is a Structured Elective?
A: A structured elective is a small but coherent block of elective modules,
amounting to a minimum of 15 credits. For example, if a BSc Chemistry
student takes elective modules, which constitute the Structured Elective in
Mathematics with Applications during their degree, their transcript will state
that in addition to their BSc Chemistry degree they have also been awarded a
`Structured Elective in Mathematics with Applications.’
Q. How do I take the Structured Elective in Mathematics with Applications?
A. Students must take MATH20140 and MATH20030 and at least one of the
other modules listed below as elective modules during their degree. Note
that these modules can be taken in any order as none is a pre-requisite for
any other. However, students should first complete level 1 Linear Algebra
and Calculus.
