Single Honors Mathematics (SS year)

Selected pathway ECTS credit split

Available pathways

During their Senior Sophister year, students follow one of the available pathways. Their exact options are outlined in this useful diagram and they are also briefly outlined below.

  • Major with Minor pathway: Students take the 20-credit Capstone project MAU44P00 along with 20 credits of Mathematics modules and 20 credits in their minor subject. If their minor subject is Statistics, they may also take Statistics modules as part of their Mathematics curriculum.
  • Single Honors pathway: Students take the 20-credit Capstone project MAU44P00 along with 40 credits of Mathematics modules.
  • Single Honors pathway NMS: Students take the 20-credit Capstone project MAU44P00 along with 40 credits of Mathematics modules.

Timetable pillars for minor subjects

For timetable purposes, the available minor subjects (other than Statistics) are divided into three groups, which are also known as pillars.

  • Pillar 1 subjects: Classical civilisation, Drama studies, French, History.
  • Pillar 2 subjects: Ancient history and archaeology, Economics, English, Italian, Linguistics, Music.
  • Pillar 4 subjects: Classical languages, Geography, Irish, Philosophy, Religion, Social policy, Spanish.

Mathematics modules

The following list of Mathematics modules corresponds to the pathway selected at the top of this page. One may use the dropdown menu to navigate to other pathways, if needed. Some combinations of modules may not be available because of timetable restrictions.

Credits must always be divided equally between the two semesters. Unless indicated otherwise, each module is worth 5 credits. To view the prerequisites for each module, one may hover their mouse over the module code. Modules listed with (c) are compulsory, while those listed with an asterisk are offered every other year.
