Consultative Committee for Graduates — Mathematics

The Consultative Committee for Graduates (CCG) meets once a term and discusses any matters that graduate students wish to raise. The committee considers syllabus, teaching arrangements, library facilities, office facilities and general aspects of examinations.

The committee consists of about 6 graduate students (including students from taught masters courses) and the two Directors of Graduate Studies. Students will be invited to nominate a representative to serve as the OMMS rep on this committee via email in Michaelmas Term. The CCG webpage can be found at https://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/members/governance/committees/standing-orders-and-memberships/consultative-committee-graduates

Part C Students
Mathematics Undergraduate Representative Committee (MURC)

The MURC is composed of students who represent the interests of Mathematics and joint school undergraduate students. It consists of a representative from each college. It holds regular meetings to discuss the various issues connected to academic organisation, including lectures, examinations and syllabus content. It is a forum to allow students to raise issues with their courses. The views of this committee are channelled to the faculties and departments through the Joint Consultative Committee with Undergraduates.

A fourth-year undergraduate MURC representative will also sit on the OMMS Supervisory Committee.

Joint Consultative Committee with Undergraduates (JCCU)

The JCCU meets regularly once a term and discusses any matters that the MURC representatives wish to raise. In addition, it considers matters relating to the synopses and proposed changes of syllabus, and the statistical feedback from questionnaires.

The membership of the JCCU consists of fourteen members of MURC appointed by MURC and representatives of the Departments of Mathematics and of Statistics. The committee is chaired by a member of faculty and the Secretary is an undergraduate member of the committee. This committee is available for consultation by the departments and by the divisional board on any matter which relates to the undergraduate courses. Minutes of the JCCU meetings taken by your student representatives, reports and feedback on student requests can also be found at https://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/members/governance/committees/standing-orders-and-memberships/joint-consultative-committee-undergraduates.
