MSc in Mathematical Sciences and MMath in Mathematics Handbook (2025-26)

5.5. Consultation Sessions

Consultation sessions is a term used interchangeably with revision sessions which place between Weeks 2 and 5 of Trinity Term. For courses with less than 40 students a 1-hour drop in session will be offered alongside a 1 hour lecture to assist with revision. For courses with more than 40 students, the consultation session will be scaled to the size of the course (for example, a course with 80 students would offer 2 1-hour drop in sessions).

A provisional timetable for the consultation sessions is usually published in early Week 0 of Trinity Term at the following link: https://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/members/students/undergraduate-courses/ba-master-mathematics/examinations-assessments/consultation.

There is no registration required for those sessions run at the Mathematical Institute. Consultation sessions at the Departments of Statistics and Computer Science operate independently from those at the Mathematical Institute and you may be required to register for the sessions.

To get the most out of the drop in sessions, tutors will encourage students to email specific questions prior to the sessions. For the presentation of past exam questions they will specify which questions they will be covering. This will be communicated either directly through the mailing list or alongside the organisation of the classes on the timetable.
