Notes: - Courses and units may be changed in accordance with normal University procedures.
- This course catalogue is applicable for all years of study for the 2024/25 academic year only. Students continuing their studies into 2025/26 and beyond should not assume that this programme, or its component units, will be delivered in future years in the format displayed here.
- Assessment regulations are subject to review and update. Links given here will provide access to the latest versions of documentation. The regulations described in this documentation may not necessarily be those which applied in previous academic years. For detailed information on how assessment regulations were applied to this course in previous academic years, please contact the relevant Director of Studies.
- Availability of units is subject to constraints such as staff availability, minimum and maximum group sizes, and timetabling factors as well as a student's ability to meet any pre-requisite rules.

- Students must take units totalling 60 credits for the year, normally 30 credits each semester. In the combined programme for years 3 and 4 at least 108 of the 120 credits should be at level 3 or higher and at least 60 should be at level 4.
- Students may take no more than 12 credits of units at Intermediate level (e.g. codes beginning MA2*, CM2* etc.) in this programme year.
- Students must check the teaching timeslots (pdf - link opens in new tab) when choosing units. To minimise timetable clashes, no more than one unit should be chosen from each timeslot within the same semester.
