COURSE REGULATIONS

General and Course Regulations for all BSc, BA (Bachelor) and MMath (Integrated Masters) degrees are published on the University website: https://www.strath.ac.uk/sees/educationenhancement/qualityassurance/universityregulations

Please read the regulations of your degree course carefully.

INFORMATION ON COMPLUSORY AND OPTIONAL CLASSES

A summary of the compulsory and optional classes for each of the BSc and MMath Degree courses is provided in Table on page 8. This table indicates the semester in which each class is taught and the number of credits awarded. Timetables for each course can be found at:

www.strath.ac.uk/timetables To find the timetable for your course use Programme Timetables and for individual classes use Class Timetables. Class descriptions can be found at

http://but.mis.strath.ac.uk/classcatalogue/

GENERAL INFORMATION: MATHEMATICS AND STATISTICS Information for students about all classes and courses provided by the Department of Mathematics and Statistics can be found via a class on Myplace called:

Mathematics & Statistics: Information for Current Students

All students on our degree courses are automatically enrolled for this class on Myplace.

Mathematics with Teaching Students on, or wishing to transfer to the Mathematics with Teaching degree course should consult Dr Dombi for information just prior to the Spring Break. MMath in Mathematics

The MMath is an Integrated Masters degree, also called an enhanced undergraduate degree, and corresponds to the 4-year MMath degrees offered in England and Wales and therefore takes one more year than a BSc Honours degree. Note that progress requirements for the MMath are much higher (Credit Weighted Average over 60%). As the curriculum in the early years is the same as that for the BSc in Mathematics, a student performing very well may transfer from the BSc to the MMath course.

The Departmental Examination Co-ordinator is: Ms. Sandra Miller (LT914, ext. 3808) Departmental Disability Contacts: Students with approved Special Examination Needs should speak to the Departmental Disability Contacts: Ms Sandra Miller and Dr David Young. Personal Mitigating Circumstances Affecting Performance A student, having had medical or other personal problems affecting their performance, who wishes the examiners to take this into account, must notify Student Business-Science within 5 working days of the end of the examination diet. Details of what Boards of Examiners will take into account and what will not be considered can be found at

http://www.strath.ac.uk/staff/policies/academic/

on the link ‘Personal Circumstances & Academic Appeals Procedure’. Information that you submit is kept confidential to the examiners; in most cases the details are made available only to the External Examiners and the Chair of the Examination Board. If you have any concerns about the confidentiality of the information that you wish to submit, please come and discuss this with the Head of Department or your Year Co-ordinator.
