Most courses consist of 3 lectures a week, except those that are indicated with an asterisk, which consist of 4 lectures a week. These are: MT5461, MT5462, MT5432, MT5436. Ask the lecturer for details.

There will be a two hour written exam in summer term for all courses. It counts 90% towards the final mark in this course if this course consists of 4 lectures a week. It counts 80% for courses that consist of 3 lectures a week. For the courses that consist of 3 lectures a week there will be a mini-project which counts 10%. For all courses homework counts 10%.

Note that many of these courses are related to the corresponding third year and fourth year (MSci) courses and the corresponding course numbers are different but related: for example MT5485 (MSc) is related to MT4850 (MSci) and MT3850 (BSc). 

 The following final year undergraduate and MSc courses may also be relevant:
