Notes

Students in Mathematics are strongly recommended to take MATH2301 or an equivalent course in practical numerical computing.
Many courses in Mathematics and Physics are offered at two levels. The higher level courses cater for students with greater ability and/or a higher level of prior knowledge. Courses listed in this plan are all at the ordinary level. Students with suitable qualifications are encouraged to enrol in the corresponding higher level courses . In cases where there is a higher course, the proportion of Distinction and High Distinction grades is lower in the corresponding ordinary level course

Honours

Honours level study is also available in Physical Oceanography / Meteorology.
Students interested in studying at Honours level should refer to the Honours plan record for entry requirements.
