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

5.11. Skills Development

Much of the advice and training in study skills will come in the regular class teaching you receive. The Departments will run some sessions specifically for MSc and Part C students, and you will be contacted about these. There will be general guidance provided by the department on writing dissertations. This will include general lectures on dissertations by the Chair of Projects Committee.

A wide range of information and training materials is also available to help you develop your academic skills - including time management, research and library skills, referencing, revision skill and academic writing - through the Oxford Student website: http://www.ox.ac.uk/students/academic/guidance/skills/.
