Curriculum Overview
| Course Type | Academic Units (AU) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Core Courses | 53 | |||
Major Prescribed Electives Choose one of the two options: AU figures for the PI option are shown in parentheses. | 31 (26) | |||
| Second Major Courses: | 21 | |||
| Interdisciplinary Collaborative Core: Common Core | 17 | |||
| Interdisciplinary Collaborative Core: Foundational Core | 10 (15) | |||
| Broadening and Deepening Electives (BDE) Can take BDEs offered by any School. | 4 | |||
| Total | 136 AU | |||
Notes:
- AU figures in parentheses (x) indicate the number of AU if the option with PI is selected.
- Students are required to fulfil 31 (26) AUs in Math Major Prescribed Electives.
- Second Major courses cannot be used to fulfil the Specialisation requirements. No double counting towards the Specialisation is allowed.
- Specialisation can be fulfilled through Major Prescribed Electives and/or BDEs. Courses that count towards the requirement for specialisation cannot be S/U. The same course cannot be used to count towards two different specialisations.
- A minimum CGPA of 4.50 and a grade of A- or better in the Final Year Project (MH49XX) are required to be eligible for Honours (Highest Distinction). A minimum CGPA of 4.00 and a 'Pass' grade in the Final Year Project (MH49XX) or the Group Final Year Project (MH4915) are required to be eligible for Honours (Distinction).
- All core courses cannot be mapped to exchange courses. A maximum of three Major Prescribed Electives can be mapped to exchange courses. Courses that count towards specialisation cannot be mapped to exchange courses. Please refer to this page for more information.
