| (1) As an alternative, students may
take the Mathematics courses prescribed for the Year 1 programme of the
Physics MPhys. |
| (2) As an alternative, students may
take the Mathematics and Mathematical Physics courses prescribed for the
Year 2 programme of the Physics MPhys. |
| (3) Progression to Honours
requires a minimum Grade 'C' performance in Foundations of Mathematical
Physics OR a minimum average grade of 'C' in Principles of Mathematical
Physics and Methods of Applied Mathematics. |
| (4) Progression to the final
years of the MPhys programme requires no less than than 55% overall in
Junior Honours and an average of at least 50% in Section B of the core
course examinations (Quantum Mechanics, Dynamics & Relativity,
Statistical Mechanics, and Electromagnetism; from 2006/7, Quantum
Mechanics, Dynamics, Relativity & Electromagnetism,
Thermodynamics & Statistical Mechanics). This is in addition to
the general progression requirements. |
| (5) The Programme Guide gives details and
constraints on choice of courses, to facilitate advance planning. |
