Page "Part III of the Mathematical Tripos" Paragraph 5

Students who have completed their undergraduate degrees at Cambridge will be awarded the Master of Mathematics ( M. Math.

) degree for four years of study.

Students who complete Part III of the Mathematical Tripos, but did not complete undergraduate studies at Cambridge will be awarded the Master of Advanced Study ( M. A. St.

) in Mathematics degree for the one year course.

This will allow Cambridge graduates to remain eligible for government funding for the course.

All those who have taken the course since 1962 have the right to proceed to these new degree titles.

The first retrospective M. Math and M. A. St.

degrees were conferred in October 2010.

The course is often still referred to as Part III.
