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:
- Satisfy the University requirements for Normal Matriculation.
- 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:
- Satisfy the University requirements for Lower level Matriclulation.
- 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.
