Note that part-time students take the pre-sessional courses in two stages: Mathematics and Introduction to Finance in the first year, Statistics in the second year. Some options run in parallel, restricting the available combinations. Part-time students might therefore prefer to split the options unevenly across the two years in order to participate at their preferred options.
