LTCC Exam
First-year PhD students in Mathematics and Statistics from the consortium members (Brunel, City, Imperial Statistics, Kent, King’s, LSE, QMUL and UCL) are expected to attend four LTCC basic units and take the examination. Exceptions to the rule should be confirmed by the postgraduate tutor in the student’s department and notified to the LTCC administrator.
Students from other institutions or academic disciplines may take the examination if their departments wish them to do so.

Format
For 2009/10 the examination will be in the form of a ‘take-home’ paper. Students are expected to spend no more than 3-4 hours on each unit, and they should be aware that very long answers are unlikely to find favour with the examiners.
Students are normally expected to attempt a maximum of 4 units.
Provisional timetable
Thursday 1 April Mock questions will be available on the LTCC website
Tuesday 20 April Real questions will be available on the website. Students requiring other modes of delivery must arrange with the LTCC administrator in advance.
Monday 26 April 3pm Deadline for students who attempt only one or two units.
Friday 30 April 3pm Deadline for students attempting more than two units.
Students will be asked to produce one PDF file for each unit attempted, either by conversion from LaTeX, or by scanning a handwritten document. These files should be emailed to the LTCC administrator. Alternatively, answers (in the form specified) may be mailed or delivered in person to De Morgan House to arrive by the deadline. Late submissions will be reviewed individually.
