Course Practicalities
In a typical year, you will study 12 five-credit modules. This equates to 12 lecture hours and six to nine tutorial or laboratory hours per week on average.
Most modules consist of two lectures per week, together with associated homework that is discussed in tutorials. Modules in applied mathematics which involve significant use of the computer have associated laboratory practicals. The School of Mathematical Sciences has dedicated, well-equipped computer laboratories for this purpose.
Certain physics modules are based entirely on practical laboratory work and the Physics Department has dedicated teaching laboratories as well as state-of-the-art research laboratories available.
Assessment
Written exams will take place before Christmas and in May. Not all modules will have formal examinations. Many modules use other types of assessment including in-class tests and take-home problems etc.
Lecturers take care to give you as much feedback on your progress as possible.
The remaining marks for a module are allocated based on an end-of-semester or end-of-year written examination.
Some modules (project or experimental physics modules for example) are examined wholly by continuous assessment.
Application Procedure
Refer to CK407 and CK408.
