BSc Mathematics (Joint Honours) Third and Fourth Year Programme Requirements:
45 credits in three of: MT3501 - MT3508;
15 Credits: MT4599 or other approved Joint Honours project;
60 Further Credits: MT3000 - MT4999, ID4001;

Other information
With the permission of the Director of Teaching up to 20 credits per programme may be taken in a module outwith the specified modules in all School of Biology Programmes. Where there are choices between modules in the programmes, some options may have pre-requisites therefore the 1000- and 2000-level modules taken may limit choices. The availability of 4000-level modules in the School of Biology will be dependent on sufficient student demand.
Study abroad
In the case of students who spend part of the Honours programme on a recognised Study Abroad scheme, the Programme Requirements will be amended to take into account overseas courses which are approved by the relevant St Andrews School in the Learning Agreement (see www.st-andrews.ac.uk/students/study-abroad/academic ).
