Outside Options
Most students in year 2/3/4 have either 1/2 or 1 unit of “outside” options open to them. It is your responsibility to find out about any outside courses you want to take, and no guarantee can be made about timetabling. Advice on any options in other departments should be sought from the relevant department, probably in the first case from the web-site.
The choice of outside options is pretty free (with the obvious exception of elementary maths courses), but please consult me about any outside courses you wish to take: I will need to approve your choice. You may also need to bear in mind the rules on levels of courses.
Please note that 4th year MSci students should only take modules at Master's or Advanced Level.
Please see:
Relevant Departments
Students have taken outside options from a wide variety of Departments (including Chemistry, Latin and Psychology) but obvious choices are: the Language Centre, the Statistics Department, the Physics and Astronomy Department, the Management Studies Centre, the Computer Science Department and the Department of Science and Technology Studies. In the first place please look on the relevant web-site for information.
For information about other departments, please see their web-site or other information
Language Centre
Note that Language courses are normally taken at the Language Centre,
and are available as 1/2 unit or full unit courses. They all run throughout
the year, and you have to have an interview at the language centre to
determine your level.
Kings College
It is possible (timetable permitting) to take courses at other London
Colleges – in particular, we have an arrangement with Kings College,
which offers various Mathematics topics that UCL doesn’t and is
fairly convenient from here – please look at their web-site.
Maths Education Module
This 1/2 unit module at the Institute of Education will be offered again this year. Please click here to see the details of this course for 2012-13: next year's is expected to be similar, but of course dates, etc, are not correct.
If you have any queries, please contact Dr Melissa Rodd (m.rodd AT ioe.ac.uk).
Modules Treated as Maths Modules
Note that the following will normally be considered as Mathematics options rather than outside options. However, you still need permission from the relevant department to take the module and if you want to take several of these you will need to discuss your entire choice of options with me.
STAT3101 Probability and Statistics 2
STAT3102 Stochastic Processes
STAT3004 Decision and Risk
PHAS2222 Quantum Physics
PHAS3226 Quantum Mechanics
Mathematics Education module (IoE)
Suitable Mathematics modules taken at Kings or other London college.
