MSc Mathematics and the Foundations of Computer Science (2025-2026 Entry)

5.2. Lectures

Each lecture course comprises of 16 hours of lectures, and for most of these there will be 4x 90-minute classes. 

In addition, students will be expected to undertake reading, and work on practical preparation and problem sheets.

We would expect that you would spend about 10-15 hours per week on each course and that you would undertake 3 or 4 courses in each of Michaelmas and Hilary Terms. Reading courses involve the same amount of work as lecture courses.

The Mathematical Institute publishes a lecture list for Mathematical Sciences just before the beginning of each term, as do all other Divisions of the University. The Mathematics list can be found on the web at 
http://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/members/students/lecture-lists. 

The Computer Science list can be found on the web at http://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/teaching/timetables/. 

Lecture lists for other Departments in the MPLS Division can be found at

All members of the University may attend any publicly announced University lectures or seminars.
