FAQ
I’d like to read a Primary Major in Statistics with a Second Major in Mathematics. Are there any special conditions to fulfil?
Cohorts AY2014/2015 to AY2020/2021:
You may use the following courses, up to 16 MCs, to double count towards the graduation requirements of both Majors:
-
- MA1101R
- MA1102R
- MA2108/MA2108S
- MA2216/ST2131
- ST2132
No other course may be used to double count towards the graduation requirements of both Majors.
I am reading/planning to read a Second Major in Mathematics. How many common courses can I use to satisfy both the requirements of my Primary Major and the Second Major in Mathematics?
-
- You may use up to four common courses (16 MCs) which are essential in your Primary Major and which satisfy the requirements for Second Major in Mathematics.
- If there are more than four such common courses (i.e. X), you must read an equivalent number of extra MA courses (i.e. X-4) at the same level or higher to satisfy the remaining requirements for Second Major in Mathematics.
- You may use up to four common courses (16 MCs) which are essential in your Primary Major and which satisfy the requirements for Second Major in Mathematics.
