5

A student who has not taken MAS367 Linear And Generalised Linear Models or MAS467 Linear and Generalised Linear Models at Level 3 is required to take MAS467 Linear And Generalised Linear Models at Level 4.


6

With the permission of the Head of Department a student may replace MAS406 at 4A above with MAS 407 (Mathematics and Statistics Project III - 40 credits).  In this case up to 40 rather than up to 50 credits need to be chosen from 4B above.


7

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 and Statistics (MASU39). 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 and Statistics (MASU38).


8

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 and Statistics (MASU39). 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 and Statistics (MASU38).


9

A student will take at least one hundred and twenty credits at F7 level in Levels 3 and 4 combined in order to be eligible for the award of MMath in Mathematics and Statistics (MASU39).


10

For MAS406 and MAS407 the topic must be in statistics or probability.
