Notes:

AU figures in brackets (x) indicate the number of AU if MH4900 Final Year Project is selected.
A grade of A- or better in Final Year Project is required to be eligible for Honours (Highest Distinction).
All Physics common core and graduate level courses cannot be mapped to exchange courses. PH4XXX courses can only be mapped to exchange courses as BDE, unless the exchange course is a graduate-level course. All Math core courses cannot be mapped to exchange courses. A maximum of three Math Major Prescribed Electives can be mapped to exchange courses. Please refer to the pages on Physics exchange course mapping and Math exchange course mapping for more information.
