^ This class may only be undertaken if the corresponding Level 4 class
has not been taken previously.
* The Project may be undertaken at an industrial placement (MA 541)
normally lasting a minimum of 4 months. In exceptional circumstances
the Project MA 540 may be replaced by further classes at Level 5.

Progress
At all stages of the course, a student must normally have achieved an
approved standard of performance with regard to level of study and
academic attainment.
In order to progress to the second year of the course, a candidate must
normally have accumulated at least 120 credits from the course
curriculum.
In order to progress to the third year of the course, a candidate must
normally have accumulated at least 240 credits from the course
curriculum.
In order to progress to the fourth year of the course, a candidate must
normally have accumulated at least 360 credits from the course
curriculum.
In order to progress to the fifth year of the course, a candidate must
normally have accumulated at least 480 credits from the course
curriculum.
Final Assessment
On successful completion of the class MA 500 a candidate will be
awarded 120 credits.
The final classification for the degree of MMath in Mathematics will
normally be based on:
(i)
the first assessed attempt at compulsory and optional classes
taken in the fourth and fifth years;
(ii)
if appropriate, an oral examination.
Award
MMath: In order to qualify for the award of the degree of MMath in
Mathematics, a candidate must have accumulated no fewer than 600
credits from the course curriculum. These must include no fewer than
210 credits at Levels 4 and 5 of which a minimum of 90 must be at
Level 5 and must include 240 credits from compulsory and optional
classes taken in the fourth and fifth years.
