Programme Regulations: 2017/18 Programme Title: BSc (Hons) Mathematics - UCAS Code: G100 Programme Title: BSc (Hons) Mathematics with Placement Year – UCAS Code: G10X Notes (i) These programme regulations should be read in conjunction with the University’s Undergraduate Progress Regulations and Examination Conventions. (ii) All optional modules are offered subject to the constraints of the timetable and to any restrictions on the number of students who may be taught on a particular module. Not all modules may be offered in all years and they are listed subject to availability. (iii) Unless otherwise stated under ‘Type’, modules are not core. (iv) A compulsory module is a module which a student is required to study. (v) A core module is a module which a student must pass, and in which a fail mark may neither be carried nor compensated; such modules are designated by the board of studies as essential for progression to a further stage of the programme or for study in a further module. (vi) Students who have completed Stage 0 of the BSc Honours in Mathematical Sciences (with Foundation Year) - UCAS code: G101, will normally be permitted to progress to Stage 1 of one of G100, GG13, G300. (vii) Where a module is subject specific, code M refers to modules in Mathematics and code S refers to modules in Statistics. (viii) Students are not recruited to G10X. Rather a G100 candidate may transfer to G10X by the end of week 5 of Semester 2 of Stage 2, subject to the agreement of the Degree Programme Director. (ix) If a candidate meets the requirements for one of the four year degrees, MMath (G103) or MMathStat (GGC3) they may transfer to that programme at any time between the end of Stage 1 and the start of the Semester 2 examination period in Stage 3, provided they attained an average of at least 60 in the previous Stage. (x) Programme transfers for Tier 4 students may be restricted by current Tier 4 rules. Please refer to the Visa Team for advice. 1.

Intercalating Year – G10X only (a) On completion of Stage 2 and before entering Stage 3, candidates shall spend the equivalent of one academic year in a placement approved by the Placement Coordinator. If a candidate is not successful in securing an approved placement, or fails to complete the placement year satisfactorily, then the candidate will be required to transfer to Stage 3 of G100.

Degree classification Candidates will be assessed for degree classification on the basis of all the modules taken at Stages 2 and 3 with the weighting of the stages being 1:2 for Stage 2 and Stage 3 respectively. The Placement Year will not be used in the classification of G10X candidates.
