| (1) As an alternative, students may
take the Mathematics courses prescribed for the Year 1 programme of the
Physics MPhys. |
| (2) As an alternative, students may
take the Mathematics and Mathematical Physics courses prescribed for the
Year 2 programme of the Physics MPhys. |
| (3) Progression to Honours
requires a minimum average grade of 'C' performance in MP2A: Vectors, Tensors
and Fields and MP2B: Dynamics, OR in Foundations of Mathematical Physics |
| (4) Progression to the final years
of the MPhys programme requires no less than than 55% overall in Junior
Honours. This is in addition to the general progression requirements. |
| (5) The Programme Guide gives details and
constraints on choice of courses, to facilitate advance planning. |
| (6) To be delivered from 2009/2010. |
| (7) To be delivered only in 2008/2009, not
in 2009/2010. |
