Entry Requirements

In order to do the Mathematics Degree, candidates must satisfy the requirements for entrance to the Faculty of Pure and Applied Science i.e. they must:

Either:
  1. Satisfy the University requirements for Normal Matriculation.
  2. Have obtained passes at CXC Secondary Education General Proficiency level (or equivalent) in Mathematics and two subjects at CAPE (both comprising Units 1 & 2) or at GCE A-level (or equivalent) one of which must be an approved science subject.

Or:
  1. Satisfy the University requirements for Lower level Matriclulation.
  2. Have obtained passes at CXC Secondary Education General Proficiency level with grades I, II, or since 1998 grade III (or equivalent) in Mathematics and two approved science subjects.

Programme Structure

A major in Mathematics requires passes in M20A, M20B, M21A, M21B and sixteen (16) other credits from Part II Mathematics courses. At least eight (8) of the sixteen must be obtained at Level III. Certain courses, as noted individually, cannot count towards the major.

A double major in Mathematics requires passes in Sixty-four (64) credits at Levels II and III. These should contain the core courses together with a minimum of 32 credits at Level III.

A minor in Mathematics requires passes in any eight (8) Level II and eight (8) Level III Mathematics credits.
