Part II Thesis advice

This informal document supplements the formal guidance about the Part II thesis option given in the 2011-12 Undergraduate Handbook (pp.123–127, 135), and Statutes and Ordinances of the University of Cambridge 2011, pp.287-295, which provides the definitive statement of the Regulations.  It aims to answer many ‘frequently asked questions’.  In case of queries, please consult your Director of Studies or the Academic Secretary for Undergraduate Affairs of the Faculty (Dr Emily Gowers).  Please let the Academic Secretary for Undergraduate Affairs have any suggestions on how these notes might be enhanced or improved.
