Intercollegiate Classes

Each lecture course is normally accompanied by a set of four classes. There will be an introduction to the class scheme within the scheduled induction session in week 0 of Michaelmas Term. For each of the classes, there will be a problem sheet that students are expected to complete.

Course Registration - Part C students

Part C students are required to take 8 units, of which 2 will be a dissertation; you may take an additional 1-2 units if you wish. One unit is the equivalent of a 16-hour lecture course which is accompanied by 4 classes.

The equivalent of four units must be taken from the schedule of "Mathematics Department units" and may include a dissertation on a mathematical topic. Up to four units may be taken from the schedule of "Other Units" with not more than two from each category (Statistics options, Computer Science options, Other options). The draft list of courses is usually published after your Part B exams in Trinity Term and you will be asked to register for the options you intend to take by the end of week 10.  You may alter the options you have registered for after this but it is helpful if your registration is as accurate as possible. An options fair will be held in Trinity term and at which representatives from the subject panels will be available to discuss the courses offered and answer any questions you have.

Once you have met the conditions of your offer, you will be asked to register for the options that you intend to take once arriving at Oxford.
