| (3) As an alternative, students
may take the Mathematics and Mathematical Physics courses prescribed for
the Year 2 programme of the Mathematical Physics MPhys. |
| (4) The Programme Guide
gives details and constraints on choice of courses, to facilitate advance
planning. |
| (5) 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. |
| (6) To be
delivered from 2009/2010. |
| (7) Students
who have taken Mathematical Physics 3 or this course in year 3 should instead
take an additional course chosen from Schedule Q at level 10/11. |
