    COURSE OPTIONS
    This DPT has 2 set(s) of course options with the following rules.


    Select exactly 40 credits from Level 8 courses in Schedules A to J and W, as available

    Notes:Notes: Students MUST include a Secondary 'Arts' Subject in years 1 and 2. This involves taking 40 credits of course(s) in year 2 that follow on from course(s) passed in year 1. These courses will normally (a) be from the same subject area as the courses previously passed (as listed in the relevant Schedule), (b) not be taken before the second year of study, and (c) may have the course(s) previously passed as pre-requisite(s). Selection of Secondary Subjects is subject to the approval of the Head of the School of Mathematics.
