| (1) As an alternative, students may
take the Mathematics courses prescribed for the Year 1 programme of the
Mathematical Physics BSc. |
| (2) Students wishing to take Informatics
(Schedule O) courses in Year 3 will need to take further Informatics courses
here. |
| (3) As an alternative, students
may take the Mathematics and Mathematical Physics courses prescribed for
the Year 2 programme of the Mathematical Physics BSc. |
| (4) As an alternative, students
may replace one of these courses with 20 points of courses from Schedule
Q at Level 10/11. |
| (5) The Programme Guide gives details
and constraints on choice of courses, to facilitate advance planning. |
