Completion requirements
2. Your First Weeks at Oxford University
Many of you will already have read ‘How do Undergraduates do Mathematics?’ originally prepared by Professor Charles Batty with the assistance of Professor Nick Woodhouse with more recent updates by Dr Richard Earl, Prof Frances Kirwan and Dr Vicky Neale. If you have not done so, then it is available online at https://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/system/files/attachments/study_public_0.pdf and you are strongly recommended to read it as part of the induction to your course.
The Department Induction session will this year be held at 2pm on Friday Week 0 in L1, Mathematical Institute. You will be provided with important information for your course.
