A core course is one which is of such widespread interest within the MAGIC Consortium that it will seek to deliver it each year ensuring that key topics are included in the syllabus.
Each core course will comprise either 10 or 20 hours of live and recorded lectures.
A specialist course will either be pitched at PhD entry level (i.e., assuming knowledge of undergraduate level material) or build on material which has already been taught in a core MAGIC course.
Thus, specialist courses should not be interpreted as being more advanced.
The range of specialist courses offered by MAGIC represents a spectrum of mathematics topics outside the core which meet the requirements of members of the MAGIC Consortium. Each specialist course will comprise 10 hours of live lectures.
