In light of the ongoing Covid 19 pandemic, the University changed the examinations to an open-book format and rolled out a new online examinations platform. An additional 30 minutes was added on to the exam duration to allow candidate the technical time to download and submit their examination papers via Inspera.
The department intends to hold in person exams in Trinity Term 2022.
The first notice to candidates was issued on 26th February 2021 and the second notice on 30th April 2021. These contain details of the examinations and assessments.
All notices and the examination conventions for 2021 are available online at:

See Table 3, page 4 for the number of candidates taking each Mathematics paper, together with statistics for the raw marks (average and standard deviation), and USMs (average and standard deviation) attained on each paper by this cohort. All papers listed are units except the Mathematics Dissertation, which is a double unit. The total maximum raw marks for a unit is 50 whilst the USMs are scaled to a maximum of 100. In accordance with University guidelines, statistics are not given for papers where the number of candidates was five or fewer.

D. Recommendations for Next Year’s Examiners and OMMS
Supervisory Committee
Most of the recommendations are shared with the Part C Mathematics Examiner Board including
For further details regarding the above recommendations, see Part C Mathematics Examiner Report.
We turn to the recommendations or comments which are more applicable to the OMMS examiner board and mostly concern discrepancies in the treatments for OMMS and Part C students. The board recognised that efforts have been made in previous years to ensure more transparency, agreements and fairness in the treatment of OMMS and Part C students. The board however felt that a number of differences still exists which should be addressed.
