Induction Meetings

Prior to registration we will be holding induction sessions for all single honours Maths students and Natural Sciences & Combined Honours students with an advisor in the Maths department. If you are unsure if you have an advisor or who your advisor is you can find out at http://www.maths.dur.ac.uk/Ug/student_advisor.php .

Please see the table below for details of the induction meeting for your year group:

If any other students have queries please contact either Beverly Forster or Melanie Allchurch in CM201 or Professor Steve Abel in CM214. You can also email queries to maths.teaching@durham.ac.uk .

Advisor Meetings

Students with a Maths advisor must have an Easter term meeting with their advisor before they leave Durham to discuss next year’s module choices and exam feedback. This should normally take place between Wednesday 24th to Friday 26th June, but in exceptional circumstances can be held earlier in the last three weeks of term. You should contact your advisor personally to agree on a time for this meeting. Students can check who their Maths advisor is at http://www.maths.dur.ac.uk/Ug/student_advisor.php.

Module choice advice

You must choose next year's modules on DUO before the end of the Easter term, and before leaving Durham. You can get advice on module choices from the induction sessions and advisor meetings listed above, and you can also consult the University’s Faculty Handbook (https://www.dur.ac.uk/faculty.handbook/) and the Maths Module Description web pages (https://www.dur.ac.uk/mathematical.sciences/teaching/moduledescriptions/). Students without a Maths advisor who want to choose Maths modules next academic year, or any students who need any further advice on Maths modules, can contact either the Learning and Teaching team in CM201 or Professor Steve Abel in CM214. You can also email queries to maths.teaching@durham.ac.uk.

For those students from other department wanting to take a level 1 Maths module, you can find information on prerequisites, co-requisites, and excluded combinations at https://www.dur.ac.uk/mathematical.sciences/teaching/induction/elective/.

It is always the student's own responsibility to make sure that they have chosen a valid combination of modules and satisfied any pre-requisites. You accept the consequences of any delays to your registration if your choices are invalid and cannot be approved by the department by the end of the Easter term.
