Moderatorships in TR071 and their prerequisites

Please note:

Admission to each moderatorship maybe limited by a quota established annually by reference to the teaching resources available to each school or department. Such admission is based on the overall mark obtained in the Senior Freshman examinations which must include the pre-requisite modules as set out in the Table below and the order of choice expressed by the student. To be qualified for a given moderatiorship, students must have completed satisfactorily both Freshman years and must have read the stated prerequisite modules as set out below for any moderatorship for which they wish to be considered. Students who have not completed the pre-requisites for a given moderatorship may still be considered for that moderatorship if places are available. While every effort will be made to give due notice of major changes in the quotas, the Science Course Office reserves the right to alter pre-requisites and quotas, if necessary.
