  • There are around 250 Part III (MASt and MMath) students each year, almost all are in their fourth or fifth year of university studies.
  • Each year the Faculty offers up to 80 lecture courses in Part III, covering an extensive range of pure mathematics, probability, statistics, applied mathematics, and theoretical physics.
  • Courses are delivered predominantly by either 16 or 24 hours of formal lectures, supported by regular classes.
  • Lecture courses are assessed by formal written examination.
  • The structure of Part III is such that students prepare between 6 and 9 lecture courses for examination.
