Automatic Entry to Honours
Average of the best four grades from MT2501–MT2508 being 15 or higher and no more than two grades below 11.

Entry to Honours

Students who attain an average of grade 11.0 or above at the first sitting in the requisite 2000-level modules and who meet all other programme requirements will be given automatic offers of entry into Honours programmes*.*Apart from students on Integrated Masters degrees. Students permitted automatic entry to Honours will only be permitted to trail one module to a maximum of 30 sub-honours credits into Honours.

Some Schools permit qualified entry to Honours (see www.st-andrews.ac.uk/media/teaching-and-learning/policies/honsentry.pdf )

MMath Honours

The general requirements are 600 credits over a period of normally five years (or four years with advanced standing credits) and in no circumstances more than six years or part-time equivalent, of which the final years form an approved Honours programme of at least 330 credits of which 120 credits are at 5000 level and at least a further 210 credits are at 3000 level and above.
