Most modules consist of 3 lectures a week, except those that are indicated with an asterisk, which consist of 4 lectures a week. These are: MT5461, MT5462, MT5432, MT5436. Ask the lecturer for details.

Note that many of these modules are related to the corresponding third year and fourth year (MSci) module and the corresponding module codes are different but related: for example MT5485 (MSc) is related to MT4850 (MSci) and MT3850 (BSc).

The following final year undergraduate and MSc modules may also be relevant:
