The Research Project in Applied Mathematics is compulsory. Not all other modules will necessarily be offered every year and the Division can decide to make certain modules compulsory.
Promotion Rules
In order to obtain this degree, you need to achieve at least 50% in every module in your programme. If you fail a theory-based module, you may apply to repeat this module in the following year. You may apply to repeat a maximum of two modules. Admission to the relevant module(s) in the following year is solely at the discretion of the department. However, the research module cannot be repeated and if you fail it, you will not graduate with the BScHons in Applied Mathematics.
Assessment and Examination
All modules are assessed continuously. To obtain this honours degree, you must achieve a final mark of at least 50% in each module, including the project.
