The second year modules below are available as third year List A options worth 6 or 12 CATS if not taken in Year 2. However, not all these modules are guaranteed to take place every year.

Most List A Year 3 Mathematics modules should have a Support Class timetabled in weeks 2 to 10 of the same Term. This is your opportunity to bring the examples you have been working on, to compare progress with fellow students and, where several people are stuck or confused by the same thing, to get guidance from the graduate student in charge. When more than 30 people want to come a second weekly session can be arranged.

It is advisable to check the timetable as soon as possible for two reasons. Firstly, the timing of a module may be unavoidably changed and this page not updated to reflect that yet. Secondly, to guard against clashes. Some will be inevitable, but others may be avoided if they are noticed sufficiently well in advance. This is particularly important if you are doing a slightly unusual combination of options, and if you intend to take options outside the Science Faculty. Pay particular attention to the possibility that modules advertised here as in Term 2 may have been switched to Term 1. Check the Timetable at the start of term.

Maths Modules

Interdisciplinary Modules (IATL and GSD)

Second, third and fourth-year undergraduates from across the University faculties are now able to work together on one of IATL's 12-15 CAT interdisciplinary modules. These modules are designed to help students grasp abstract and complex ideas from a range of subjects, to synthesise these into a rounded intellectual and creative response, to understand the symbiotic potential of traditionally distinct disciplines, and to stimulate collaboration through group work and embodied learning.

Maths students can enrol on these modules as an Unusual Option, you can register for a maximum of TWO IATL modules but also be aware that on many numbers are limited and you need to register an interest before the end of the previous academic year. Contrary to this is IL006 Challenges of Climate Change which replaces a module that used to be PX272 Global Warming and is recommended by the department, form filling is not required for this option, register in the regular way on MRM (this module is run by Global Sustainable Development from 2018 on).

Please see the IATL page for the full list of modules that you can choose from, for more information and how to be accepted onto them, but some suggestions are in the table below:

Statistics Modules

Economics Modules

The Economics 2nd and 3rd Year Handbook, which includes information on which modules will actually run during the academic year, is available from the Economics web pages.

Computer Science

Physics

Engineering

Warwick Business School

Students wishing to take Business Studies options should preregister using the online module registration (OMR) in year two. If students wish to take an option for which they have not preregistered in year two they should register as early as possible directly with the Business School since occasionally the numbers of places on these modules s restricted. More information is available from Room E0.23, WBS. If you start a Business Studies module and then give it up, you must formally deregister with the module secretary. Information for all WBS modules can be found from here.

PLEASE NOTE: From 2020/21 all 2nd year WBS modules will only be available at 15 CATS not 12, and similarly 3rd year modules from 2021/22.

Philosophy

Centre for Education Studies

Note: we advise students to take this module in their second year rather than third since it involves teaching practice over the Easter vacation which may interfere with revision for final year modules examined immediately after that vacation.

Languages

The Language Centre offers academic modules in Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Russian and Spanish at a wide range of levels. These modules are available for exam credit as unusual options to mathematicians in all years. Pick up a leaflet listing the modules from the Language Centre, on the ground floor of the Humanities Building by the Central Library. Full descriptions are available on request. Note that you may only take one language module (as an Unusual Option) for credit in each year. Language modules are available as whole year modules, or smaller term long modules. Both options are available to maths students. These modules may carry 24 (12) or 30 (15) CATS and that is the credit you get. We used to restrict maths students to 24 (12) if there was a choice, but we no longer do this.

Note 3rd and 4th year students cannot take beginners level (level 1) Language modules.

There is also an extensive and very popular programme of lifelong learning language classes provided by the centre to the local community, with discounted fees for Warwick students. Enrolment is from 9am on Wednesday of week 1. These classes do not count as credit towards your degree.

The Language Centre also offers audiovisual and computer self-access facilities, with appropriate material for individual study at various levels in Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Greek, Italian, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish. (This kind of study may improve your mind, but it does not count for exam credit.)

A full module listing with descriptions is available on the Language Centre web pages.

Important note for students who pre-register for Language Centre modules

It is essential that you confirm your module pre-registration by coming to the Language Centre as soon as you can during week one of the new academic year. If you do not confirm your registration, your place on the module cannot be guaranteed. If you decide, during the summer, NOT to study a language module and to change your registration details, please have the courtesy to inform the Language Centre of the amendment.
