Teaching
The course is exclusively by research.
| One to one supervision | The University of Cambridge publishes an annual Code of Practice which sets out the University’s expectations regarding supervision. All students are assigned a research supervisor. Each Department appoints a member of academic staff as Director of Postgraduate Education. Further information about student support may be obtained on request to the Mathematics Postgraduate Office. |

Feedback
Students can expect to receive an online feedback report from their supervisor each term.
Assessment
Thesis / Dissertation
The scheme of examination for the MPhil in Mathematics shall consist of the following:
- A thesis, of a length and form appropriate to the topic, on a subject approved by the Degree Committee (typically <20,000 words).
- An oral examination on the thesis, and on the general field of knowledge within which it falls.
The Mathematics Degree Committee approves the research title of the thesis, appoints examiners and scrutinises the reports of those examiners before approving students to proceed to the degree.
