1. Introduction

Examination conventions are the formal record of the specific assessment standards for the course or courses to which they apply. They set out how examined work will be marked and how the resulting marks will be used to arrive at a final result and classification of an award. This document sets out the examination conventions for the MSc in Mathematical Sciences (OMMS) in accordance with the regulations for this course. This document explains how work will be marked and how the final degree classification will be derived from these marks. These examination conventions are approved annually by the Supervisory Committee for the MSc in Mathematical Sciences and by the Graduate Studies Committee in the Mathematical Institute. The Board of Examiners may only make minor deviations from these conventions in exceptional circumstances and only after the consent of the Proctors. This document is in all ways subsidiary to the current:

  • Examination Regulations
  • Examinations and assessments framework (EAF).
