Suspended papers available by Optional Dissertation only

The following papers are suspended for the academic year 2023-24. While there will be no lectures or other Faculty classes for these papers during the year, Part II students may offer an Optional Dissertation in place of one of these papers, provided they can find a supervisor willing to supervise them, and subject to the Faculty being able to confirm suitable examiners are available.

Note that in the event that a student does not submit an Optional Dissertation selected in one of the papers above by the required deadline, they will instead have to sit the written examination for a different paper that is not suspended in this year.
