OXFORD UNIVERSITY COMPUTING LABORATORY

Part B - Computer Science
Third Year

It is intended to offer the following courses under Part B in 2007/08.

B1 B2
Formal Program Design I and Formal Program Design II Intelligent Systems I and Intelligent Systems II
Compilers Numerical Solution of Differential Equations I and Numerical Solution of Differential Equations II
Programming Languages Computer Security
Computer Architecture Machine Learning
Computer Graphics Databases
Numerical Analysis Integer Programming
Advanced Data Structures & Algorithms Computational Complexity
Object Oriented Design Lambda Calculus and Types
Bioinformatics & Computational Biology
B4
No options offered in 07/08

Additional courses may be added to the schedules if resources permit.

Computer Science - Under the new degree structure, Computer Science students in their third year take a total of six optional courses from schedules B1, B2 and B4 with no more than 2 subjects from B1 and no more than 2 subjects from B4. You may not take a course that you also took in your second year.

Up-to date guidance on practicals can be found here. Please note that although practicals play no part in the degree classification, a candidate must pass the practical component of the course in order to pass the exam, ie candidates must achieve 30% or more overall in their practicals to pass.

Fourth Year

Students will take 4 optional subjects from Schedule C1. Most of these subjects will be examined by a mini-project, though some may be examined by a sit-down paper of two hours' duration. In addition, candidates will complete a larger project.

Topics for Schedule C1 may include a selection of the following:
Automata, Logic and Games
Advanced Topics in Language Processing
Categories, Proofs and Processes
Computational Linguistics
Computer Aided Formal Verification
Computer Animation
Concurrent and Distributed Programming
Continuous Optimization
Domain Theory
Information Retrieval
Numerical Linear Algebra
Program Analysis
Theory of Data and Knowledge Bases

It's really important to know what options you propose to take so that we can try to avoid timetable clashes. Therefore would you please complete a form, listing your chosen options and return to Christine O'Connor by Friday of week 9 of Trinity Term (22nd June 2007). Obviously at this stage your choice is not binding but this information will be extremely helpful to us.
