Course Transfer information:
All undergraduate (including undergraduate Masters) courses in the Department of Mathematical Sciences are in the same Course Family due to the high degree of commonality between available units in Stages 1 and 2. Students who have transferred between courses within a particular Course Family will only be permitted one further attempt at a stage that they have already taken. |
Weighting towards final award by stage: | Stage 1: 0%
Stage 2: 16%
