Any modules not listed (including foreign languages) are classed as Unusual Options and permission to take these modules must be obtained with a completed Unusual Option form submitted to the support office by the specified deadline. Unusual options do not count, under any circumstances, towards required CATS described in the course regulations for Core Modules, Optional Modules or letter Lists (e.g. List A, List B etc.). Further information about Unusual Options and deadlines can be found in section 3.4 of the handbook.
List A
Listed modules are subject to change from year to year and some modules may be subject to availability / module pre-registration, and completion of pre-requisite modules. Pre-requisites are strictly enforced for EC-coded modules in particular, but you should always check with the department offering the module.
The teaching term shown is for information only and does not form part of the official course regulations. Variations observed on the module pages and / or university timetable should be considered to be a more definitive source of information.
List B
Listed modules are subject to change from year to year and some modules may be subject to availability / module pre-registration.

Notes on Course Regulations
- Some optional modules are only offered subject to availability. For example, Economics modules do not run if the numbers are insufficient, so check with the Economics Department. Also, WBS normally restricts module preregistrations for IB modules to 120 CATS for third year MORSE students
- The Pathways in the MMathStat degree also provides further examples of module combinations relevant for a career (including a PhD) in Financial Mathematics as well as other specialisations. However, be aware that the pathways suggested are for the MMathStat degree and so may not satisfy the course regulations for the MORSE or MMORSE degree.
- It is a student’s responsibility to ensure that the modules they are following are permitted — either because the modules are given explicitly as options by the regulations or because permission has been sought and granted by filling in an unusual option form.
- Students should note that, to be awarded a BSc degree class, a candidate must achieve marks in that class or higher in whole core and listed modules (i.e., modules appearing in List (A) or List (B) of the regulations for the BSc MORSE) taken in the final year equating to at least 48 CATS in total. In addition, to be awarded an Honours degree students must pass (at the 40% level) whole modules equating to at least 168 CATS over years 2 and 3, including at least 80 CATS in the final year.
- From 2019/2020 onwards Statistics students should take MA222 Metric Spaces which is equivalent to MA260 Norms, Metrics and Topologies.
- From 2019/2020 onwards: IB211 has been replaced by IB320, which is offered as 12 and 15 CATS variants. Third year students who wish to take IB320 must take the 15 CATS variant. Students who have already taken IB211 Simulation are not permitted to take IB320.
