Mathematics Department Undergraduate Handbook

Welcome to the Mathematics Undergraduate Handbook!

Across these pages, you’ll find plenty of useful content on being an undergraduate on our Maths BSc or MMath courses. This handbook also has content for students on joint degree courses, such as Maths and Economics years 1 and 2, and Maths and Business Studies years 1 and 2: in subsequent years students transfer to the partner department.

We make every effort to ensure that the information here is accurate. However, the final arbiter of university policy in case of disagreement is the official university regulations, as laid down in the Calendar, which is the name given to the University's overarching set of rules and regulations.

Across the handbook, you’ll find plenty of advice and practical information about life in the Warwick Mathematics Institute – from details about lectures and supervisions, through to careers support, studying abroad, guidance on computers, how to make the most of your degree, and where to turn for help if things go wrong. All of this is in the General Information section.

This handbook is also vital when it comes to the rules and regulations around your specific degree; in it, you’ll find detailed guidance on what you can and can’t do, what is required of you to pass each year of your course and, ultimately, graduate, as well as lots of advice around modules – which ones you have to take, and information to help you pick your optional modules. These details are in the Course Specifications section

These handbook pages might be updated and edited throughout the year, but any updates will be clearly labelled. If you can’t find what you’re looking for in the handbook, or need further support, please don’t hesitate to contact your personal tutor, or speak to the Taught Programmes Office by visiting B0.01 on the ground floor of the Zeeman Building or emailing UGMathematics@warwick.ac.uk.
