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

7. Examinations and Assessments

All of the units you undertake will have a component of formal assessment: a written exam; a take-home mini-project; or the dissertation.

Each unit will be assessed by the method considered most suited to the material being taught. The course synopses specify the method of assessment for each course. Links to the course synopses for each department are located on the course website (https://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/members/students/undergraduate-courses/teaching-and-learning/part-c-students/teaching-and-learning).

The assessment of the course is governed by the University’s Examination Regulations and the course examination conventions.
