Undergraduate
BSc Mathematics and Economics
How you study
Studying as an
External student offers you maximum flexibility in planning your
studies; you can study at a time and place to suit yourself using the introductory study materials provided by the University as the starting point. These have been specifically commissioned and
written by academics of the University with the needs of
independent learners in mind.
Although you
may study independently, you may wish to
network with other registered students to plan
a mutually supportive study programme. In a growing number of
countries there are institutions which offer a
range of full-time, part-time, correspondence or online tuition.
A range of other study opportunities, and
support such as weekend courses or summer
schools may also be available.
Study material is included in the Initial Registration Fee
therefore when
you first register as an External student for the
BSc Mathematics and Economics, you will receive:
·
Studying for a Degree in the Humanities and Social Sciences
by P. Dunleavy (Macmillan)
·
a Student
handbook
·
subject guides
for
the first units to be studied

past examination papers and Examiners' reports
·
an IOLIS: CD-ROM (for certain legal units)
·
a copy of the
Regulations
·
access to the

with a comprehensive selection of links to relevant materials.
Each year you
continue to register as an External student, you will receive an
updated Handbook; the relevant course pack for any additional
courses you begin studying; any sample/past examination papers
and reports not previously received.
A
note about textbooks: In addition to the materials provided, you will be advised to buy some
books, and others you will need to refer to in a library. As far
as possible, you should consider the facilities available
locally to you, and how accessible books are likely to be before
registering as an External student.
