Notwithstanding the examination requirements set out in Regulation 36 of the Natural Sciences Tripos, the following amendments shall apply to candidates offering interdisciplinary papers:
Candidates may offer up to two of the interdisciplinary papers listed above, without restriction.
Candidates shall have less time to complete their other scheduled examination papers, such that, for each interdisciplinary paper offered:
• thirty minutes shall be taken away from the duration of Paper 1, and candidates for this paper will be required to answer one question fewer;
• forty-five minutes shall be taken away from the duration of Paper 3, and candidates will be required to answer one question fewer.
Candidates may offer up to three of the interdisciplinary papers listed above in place of the equivalent number of Minor Topics.
Candidates may offer one or two of the interdisciplinary papers listed above. Such a decision may affect the time duration of Papers 2 and 3 taken by the candidate.
Paper 2A will be a two-hour written paper for candidates offering one of Papers IDP1, IDP2, and IDP3.
Paper 2B will be a one-hour written paper for candidates offering two of Papers IDP1, IDP2, and IDP3.
Paper 3 will be a three-hour written paper for candidates offering IDP2 only.
Paper 3A will be a two-hour written paper for candidates offering one of Papers IDP1 or IDP3 (also includes candidates offering Paper IDP2 together with Paper IDP1 or Paper IDP3).
Paper 3B will be a one-hour written paper for candidates offering both Papers IDP1 and IDP3.
Candidates offering Papers IDP1 (Atmospheric chemistry and global change) and/or IDP3 (Materials, electronics, and renewable energy) will also offer a literature review associated with each of these papers, of no more than 5,000 words.
The literature review will be on a topic which may be either proposed by the candidate and approved by the Head of Department, or chosen by the candidate from a list of approved topics announced by the Head of Department early in the Lent Term. The review shall be submitted to the Examiners not later than the first Wednesday of Full Easter Term.
