Browse Hierarchy MTH799U: MSci Independent Study in Mathematics

This is an independent study module, in which the emphasis is on independent learning of an area of level-7 mathematics by working through an appropriate textbook, examined by a combination of assessments. It is distinguished from a project module by the inclusion of regular assessed coursework, an in-term test and an assessed presentation and oral examination. As in a project module, students will need to liaise with academic staff for choice of topic and selection of supervisor. They will be accepted onto this module only after agreement between adviser, module organiser, and module supervisor. They will normally be expected to have a third-year average of at least 60% to be accepted.
