| (1) As an alternative, students may
take the Mathematics courses prescribed for the Year 1 programme of the
Mathematical Physics MPhys. |
| (2) As an alternative, students may
take the Mathematics and Mathematical Physics courses prescribed for the
Year 2 programme of the Mathematical Physics MPhys. |
| (3) 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. |

and constraints on choice of courses, to facilitate advance planning. |
