Programme Notes:

  • Pre-requisites: Some of the modules in the option block are prerequisites for options available in the final year, so that choices need to be considered across both years.
  • Module Failure: The Syllabus web page for every module defines the resit rules if they are different from the first attempt -- follow the links under the module code.
  • Progress Decisions: Please refer to Section 7 of the University Regulations for further information on assessment, progression and awards.
  • Joint Honours: For some combinations of disciplines, it may be possible to vary the number of credits taken from the standard 60+60 pattern. Students should consult the relevant Programme Directors. The School of Computer Science will generally allow between 40 and 80 credits of Computer Science to be taken, at least 20 of which must be from taught modules (i.e. modules other than the Computer Science Project).
  • Optional Modules: Not all options may be available in any particular year. Some option combinations are only available if the timetable permits. As students may have to make preliminary option choices before timetables are available, changes may be needed later if there are clashes. In selecting options, students are responsible for checking pre-requisite and co-requisite information requirements. Students must consult with School of Mathematics regarding any optional modules before confirming their choices with BOTH schools.
  • Degree Classification: Refer to the University Regulations for further information on the general rules governing degree classification. It is a specific requirement of this programme that students pass the Computer Science Project in order to be awarded an Honours Degree.
  • Final Year Project: Students must choose a project in either Computer Science or Mathematics. The objective is to allow students to have a 40/80, 60/60 or 80/40 split in module choices between Mathematics/Computer Science subject to all students completing at least 20 credits of taught modules from either School. In particular if a student takes the 40 credit Final Year project in Computer Science they must take an additional 20 credits of taught modules offered by Computer Science with 60 credits offered by Mathematics. If a student takes the 20 credit Final Year Mathematics project then they can choose to do between 20 and 60 additional credits in Mathematics, and between 40 and 80 credits from Computer Science.
