Course Specifications
The final year of the four year (MMathPhys) degree has a single compulsory component, the Project, with further modules chosen from option lists.
Enough options must be taken in order to raise the total load to at least 120 CATS credits. You should choose modules totalling at least 45 CATS credits from the lists of optional modules including at least 15 CATS credits from List A and at least 15 credits from List B. Subject to the approval of the Chair of the Department of Physics, external options, may also be taken. The maximum is 150 CATS credits.
You should read the rules about examinations and classification which explains how many credits need to be passed and at which level.
