Notes:
- A grade of A- or better in the Final Year Project (MH4900) is required to be eligible for Honours (Highest Distinction).
- Students must read either Professional Internship (MH4912) or a 20-week Overseas Entrepreneurship Programme (OEP) to fulfill the ICC-FC requirement (Eligible to take from Year 3).
- To satisfy the major with a Concentration in the Mathematics of Information and Communication, a student must also pass four courses in the Mathematics of Information and Communication List.
- To satisfy the major with a Concentration in Computational Mathematics, a student must also pass four courses in the Computational Mathematics List.
- All core and track core courses cannot be mapped to exchange courses. A maximum of three Major Prescribed Electives can be mapped to exchange courses. Please refer to this page for more information.
