Study programmes

Study programme guides are provided below as PDF files. Please read the introduction for general information before looking at your specific programme, and refer to our module web pages for full details of all Mathematical Sciences modules.

You may also find our 2010–11 subject stream diagrams useful. They indicate how our main modules are related and give a pictorial indication of prerequisites within four subject areas – Algebra and Discrete Mathematics, Analysis and Geometry, Applied Mathematics, Probability and Statistics – one per page of the PDF file.

Please see our module registration guide for details of registering your modules in SIS. Do not take a compulsory module as an option in an earlier year; it will cause problems with module registration in future.

Applications to change programme made in the first few weeks of the academic year may take several weeks to process due to Registry workloads and this may delay your module registration. Please submit applications to change programme before 15 September.

Current programmes

Provided you have not interrupted your studies for any reason, you should follow the current study programme for your degree course:

MSci programmes

A change of regulations requires MSci students starting in September 2012 to take only level-7 modules in their final year; hence the new programmes listed above. Students who started at Queen Mary before September 2012 are not affected.

Old programmes

If you began a BSc programme in 2009–10 or earlier (or an MSci programme in 2008–9 or earlier) then you should follow the study programme listed below corresponding to the academic year when you began your programme and you may need to ask the Director of Undergraduate Studies to arrange for your module registration in SIS to be corrected as a special case. Note that you can only take modules that are currently available.

  • 2008–9 or 2009–10: follow the programmes published in 2010
  • 2007–08 or earlier:
    • GN13 or G1L1. But please note that:
      • Economics renamed ECN273 Capital Markets to ECN226 Capital Markets 1 over summer 2010, so you need to take ECN226 Capital Markets 1 in order to satisfy your programme requirements;
      • you are not allowed to take BUS306 Financial Management (which is in the current programmes but not the old ones).
    • all other programmes

Royal Statistical Society (RSS) accreditation

Our current (December 2011) accreditation status is that:

  • the MSci in Mathematics with Statistics is accredited;
  • the BSc in Mathematics and Statistics is accredited, but graduates who wish to apply for RSS Graduate Statistician status must produce a transcript showing statistics content of 50% in the final year and 50% overall.

For example, taking all eleven probability and statistics modules currently available at level 4–6 (including the 30-credit Advanced Statistics Project) should meet the requirement for BSc accreditation.

Exemption Recognition Agreement for CT3 – Probability and Mathematical Statistics

The Actuarial Profession has agreed to award exemption from CT3 to students who achieve an average examination mark of 60% or higher on the three modules:

  • MTH5120 Statistical Modelling I
  • MTH5121 Probability Models
  • MTH5122 Statistical Methods

It is possible to take these three modules in all our degree programmes except FG31, although in some cases you must select your options appropriately.

This agreement first takes effect for students taking these modules in the academic year 2011–12.
