Further pure mathematics (M303)

This sample calendar gives details of the expected pattern of study.


Breaks between study weeks for public holidays (such as Christmas and Easter) are not shown.
Study starts on the first Saturday of October.
Tutorials run throughout your study and give you help and guidance with your studies, including
hints and tips to improve your understanding.
Do join in as much as you can - whether face-to-face or online they are an informal way to ask
questions and to feel part of a student community.
Dates will be confirmed after you have registered.
