Five alternative programmes are available, each comprising compulsory courses and options. Students must complete satisfactorily one reading course and the equivalent of 12 topics, a topic consisting of a course of three lectures a week for one term together with the prescribed tutorial work. A course of less than three lectures is counted pro rata. In exceptional cases students may, with the , permission of the Board, be permitted to take additional topics.
Students must have their choice of optional courses approved by the Professor respo·nsible for the coordination of undergraduate teaching, who may in certain cases refer the Programme to the Board for final approval. For the purposes of this regulation a Part I course is counted as three topics, while a full Part II or Part III Arts course is counted as four topics. The course 53220 Educational Studies A is counted as two or four topics depending on whether one or two of the topics set out thereunder are taken.

Honours Programmes
Three alternative Programmes are available, each leading to the Honours Degree of Bachelor of Science or Arts. Work normally begins in February, but students may be required to do prelimi.nary reading during the previous long vacation. Each student is assigned to a supervisor who will advise him on the choice of courses. In addition, students must have their course of study approved by the Professor responsible for the co-ordination of under-graduate teaching in the School, who may in certain cases refer their choice to the Board of the School for final approval.
Ml8 PURE MATHEMATICS
Entry to this Programme is restricted to students who have achieved a sufficiently high standard in Programme M 10 or the equivalent. Students whose background& are not equivalent to Programme MIO, but are of a sufficiently high standard, should consult with the Professor responsible for the co- ordination of undergraduate teaching regarding the construction of a special Programme. The approval of the Board is required for special Programmes.
In general students will not be permitted to specialise in any single field of pure mathematics.
