For students whose programme of study began in 2021/22 or later, general regulations governing Integrated Masters programmes can be seen in the University’s Credit and Module Framework and Rules for AwardLink opens in a new window. These are not the only regulations governing your programme of study. You will also need to look at the Course Regulations governing your programme of study for each year which are described elsewhere in this handbook.

Which Rules for Award apply to you depends on which academic year your programme of study began in.

The key points for those beginning in 22/23 or later are below (but please see the full document).

To be awarded MMath:

1. Students must take at least 480 CATS over their full programme of study. This is met by taking at least the normal load of 120 CATS in each of the three years.

2. Students can take no more than 150 CATS of FHEQ Level 4 modules (i.e. UG Level 1) over their full programme of study.
3. Students can take no more than 30 CATS of FHEQ Level 4 modules (i.e. UG Level 1) during years 2, 3 and 4.
4. Students must take at least 120 (or 105 for students whose programme of study began in 2021/22 or earlier) CATS of FHEQ Level 7 modules (i.e. UG Level 4) during their full programme of study.

5. Students must pass at least 90 CATS of FHEQ Level 7 modules during their full programme of study.
   Note that the pass mark for modules at FHEQ Levels 4,5,6 is 40% and the pass mark for modules at FHEQ Level 7 (UG level 4) is 50%.

To progress from year 1 to year 2 and from year 2 to year 3, students must

1. Pass all required core modules (where they exist)
2. Achieve an overall year average greater than or equal to 40
3. Pass 90 CATS of modules from year 1 to year 2, and 90 CATS of modules at FHEQ level 5 or above to progress from year 2 to year 3.

To progress from year 3 to year 4, students must

1. Pass all required core modules (where they exist)
2. Achieve an overall year average greater than or equal to 40
3. Pass 90 CATS of modules at FHEQ level 6 or above.

Note that these are just the University regulations. There are additional department requirements to proceed from year 2 to year 3 of G103 and to proceed from year 3 to year 4 of G103.

To graduate with an MMath degree at the end of year 4 students must

1. achieve an overall average greater than or equal to 40 (using the year weightings describe in Maths degree programmes);
2. a year end average (for year 4) greater than or equal to 40
3. have passed 90 CATS of modules at FHEQ level 7 or higher over their entire programme
4. have taken 120 CATS of modules at FHEQ level 7 or higher over their entire programme (or 105 CATS for students whose programme of study began in 2021/22 or earlier).

Students who do not satisfy the above conditions will be awarded a BSc instead of the MMath.
