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

6. Examinations and Assessments

6.2. Examination Conventions

The examination conventions for the course are the formal record of the specific assessment standards for the course. They set out how each unit will be assessed and how the final degree classification will be derived from the marks obtained for the individual units. They include information on marking scales, marking and classification criteria, scaling of marks, formative feedback, resits and penalties for late submission. The examination conventions for 2025-26 can be found online at http://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/members/students/postgraduate-courses/mscmfocs/information-current-students . This is not the definitive version of the examination conventions for this year. They will be made definitive, once approved at the first supervisory committee meeting in Michaelmas Term. The examiners for the current academic year are listed in the Conventions. Students are strictly prohibited from contacting external examiners directly. If you are unhappy with an aspect of your assessment you may make a complaint or appeal (see section 8.2).
