## Eligibility

Open to International (including EU) and UK (home) students.

Open to students in the Department of Mathematics.

All students in the Department are eligible for these prizes.

## How to apply

There is no application for these prizes. We automatically consider all students on their academic performance.

## How we allocate

The Kathleen Ryan Prizes for 1st-Year and 2nd-Year students are allocated subject to students successfully progressing into the following year, and achieving at least 80% 'engagement' for all Maths modules taken.

Each award will go to the qualifying student who achieves the highest credit-weighted score over all of that year's Maths module marks, provided that this score is at least 70%.

'Engagement' is calculated by considering all assignment marks (formative and summative) and seminar/tutorial attendance marks for Maths modules. We discard any for which the records are missing (eg, if a seminar leader has forgotten to complete their records), then calculate the proportion of remaining marks not equal to 'No script' or 'Not attended'.
