Supervisions at Part I will take place in groups of approximately 5 or 6 students. Your supervisor will contact you at the beginning of each term to arrange supervisions.

Examinations

You will be assessed by written examination during the Easter Term. There will be one 3-hour examination per paper and you will be required to answer three questions. The exam papers will comprise two sections, the first having two compulsory data questions, and the second having a choice of essay questions. Past exam papers are available on Moodle.
