6

A student must achieve a weighted mean of 59.5 or above at Level Two, at the first attempt, in order to continue as a student for the Degree of MMath in Mathematics (MASU02). A student who fails to satisfy this requirement may be required by the Faculty to become instead a student for the Degree of BSc in Mathematics (MASU01).


7

A student must normally achieve a weighted mean of 59.5 or above at Level Three in order to continue as a student for the Degree of MMath in Mathematics (MASU02). A student who fails to satisfy this requirement may be required by the Faculty to become instead a student for the Degree of BSc in Mathematics (MASU01).
