Progression, Award and Course Results

Publishing dates of results

Results will be published on your Student Record, accessible through your MyEd portal, and you will be informed by email (either via an automated EUCLID message or from the School) when they are available. The Mathematics Teaching Office will be in contact if we anticipate any delays to the advertised Publication Dates.

Progression to Dissertation

The MSc programmes consist of a taught component (120 credits of compulsory and optional courses) and a dissertation (60 credits). Upon completion of the taught component of the programme, any student satisfying the following conditions will be permitted to progress to the dissertation:

• an average across 120 taught credits of at least 50%
• AND a minimum of 80 credits at 50%.

Please note that candidates are not allowed to resit an assessment in order to facilitate progression to the dissertation unless they have a Null Sit due to valid Exceptional Circumstances.

Assessment requirements

The overall result for your Masters degree is arrived at by combining the average result of the taught courses (both compulsory and optional) and the result for the dissertation. The table below provides further information about the marks that are required for each classification. Students who do not qualify for a Masters degree may be awarded a Postgraduate Certificate or Diploma. 

(In order to qualify for the Postgraduate Certificate, students must have an average of at least 40% across 60 credits of taught courses, and to pass a minimum of 40 credits at 40%.) 

Please note that candidates are not allowed to resit an assessment in order to be considered for the award of MSc, unless they have a Null Sit due to valid Exceptional Circumstances.
