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.
 2nd Year
• Essentially 120 Credits of Compulsory modules
• Possibility of replacing 20 Credits with study in other Schools.
 3rd 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)
Methods MAS1601(15, S1) Introduction to Calculus
Methods MAS1602(15, S1) Introductory Algebra:
Complex Numbers, Vectors and Matrices
Applied MAS1603(15, S2) Multivariable Calculus
and Differential Equations
Statistics MAS1604(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.
