Further Information
Course units are normally available to students on all programmes (subject to any restrictions in the programme and to prerequisites) except that symbols * and # indicate that the course unit is not be available to students who have taken or plan to take other certain other course units (see below). Course descriptions for all course units should be on the School website by the end of August. Course descriptions give details of prerequisites.
Timetable
Course units in each semester will be timetabled in ten groups A to J and these are indicated on the list. Student should assume that as far as possible two course units which are shown in different groups will not clash whereas two course units in the same group will almost certainly clash. A provisional timetable will be posted on the School website during August.
Restrictions
* This is an enhanced version of a level 3 course unit as follows and so both cannot be taken. The level 4 version may be taken in the third year by ex-VUM students subject to School approval.
- MATH40311 is an enhanced version of MATH30016.
- MATH40401 is an enhanced version of MATH30401.
- MATH40032 is an enhanced version of MATH30032.
** This is an enhanced version of a level 3 course unit as follows and so both cannot be taken. The level 4 version may not be taken in the third year.
- MATH41431 is an enhanced version of MATH31431.
- MATH41009 is an enhanced version of MATH30009.
- MATH40131 is an enhanced version of MATH30131.
- MATH40141 is an enhanced version of MATH30141.

# In addition to the above pairs of course units the following are barred combinations because of the overlap of material:
- MATH40111 is not available to students who have taken UM381/MA3020 in previous years.
- MATH40732 and MATH30732 (previously MT3732) cannot both be taken.
- MATH40742 and MATH30004 (previously UM333/MA3004) cannot both be taken
- MATH40191 and MATH31011 (previously UM314/MA3011) cannot both be taken.
