Mathematics Moderatorship 2018-19
Senior Sophister Year
Note: Although the list of modules has been updated recently, the regulations that appear below refer to the academic year 2017/18. These regulations will slightly change because of the Trinity Education Project and their updated version will be posted in mid August.
Senior Sophister Mathematics students take a total of 60 ECTS credits which must include a 10-credit project (MA4492). The remaining 50 credits should be divided equally between the two terms. Unless indicated otherwise, each module is worth 5 credits.
All module choices are subject to them being possible within the timetable.
