Study Plans | Module Planning Tool

Overview

The purpose of the recommended combinations is to help students (especially freshmen) to better plan their studies. Students may plan a different combination, depending on their personal interest and circumstances. We remark that

• It is the responsibility of the student to ensure that the graduation requirement applicable to his/her cohort will be satisfied.

• Modules offered by the Department of Mathematics may vary from year to year. It is therefore in the interest of the students to have several options for his/her study plans.

• Students with good mathematics background and students with average mathematics background may want to proceed differently in terms of study schedules. We give four sample schedules (Updated 30/6/08), with examples A and C slower and examples B and D faster in pace.

• Students are advised to have some understanding of the prerequisite of modules he/she wants to read, and to pay due attention to those modules which are prerequisites of other modules in later studies. This is especially important for students intending to do honours.

Faculty Requirements

Students reading MA (mathematics) or AM (applied mathematics) major may fulfil faculty requirements using modules from any three of these subject groups: Computing Sciences, Chemical Sciences, Life Sciences and Physical Sciences.

Students reading CF (computational finance) or QF (quantitative finance) major may fulfil faculty requirements using modules from these three subject groups: Chemical Sciences, Life Sciences and Physical Sciences. In other words, modules under Computing Sciences subject group are not considered as outside major courses for these students.

Study Plans (for reference)
