But quite possibly it merely refers to additional modules taken in Maths. More context would be needed to be sure. Reference: http://www.ed.ac.uk/studying/undergraduate/degrees?id=0,6&cw...

repeated/second Explanation: Now, I'm assuming that (bis) isn't capitalized here, so it would be a safe assumption that it's not an acronym for anything. Though it seems out of left field, the link below refers to military naming practices of aircraft, using "bis" to designate a repeat design of an aircraft (though "new and improved") during WWII and the Cold War, when Latin was still somewhat in vogue and in popular use more than it is nowadays (so it's inclusion in such an odd way wouldn't be completely incomprehensible on a Latin degree). Perhaps that is the same meaning--that is, repeat, repetition, "do-over"--for this degree? I know that at my university you were able to take a course multiple times if necessary to either pass or improve your grade. That might be the case here. Perhaps the student audited the class for a go around, withdrew, and then re-enrolled at a later time? Just an idea. I don't think it's an acronym--just my two cents.

Most first degrees take three or four years to complete, though some professional courses, such as architecture, dentistry, medicine and veterinary science, can take between five and seven years. Master awards in engineering, science and mathematics (MEng, MSci, MPhys, MChem) can have direct entry from secondary education. These are increasingly becoming the standard for those who want careers as professional engineers or scientists. These integrated masters degrees take four years. In the first year students follow a Bachelor degree syllabus but if they attain high grades they may get the opportunity to follow an integrated Bachelor/Masters level syllabus in their third and fourth years. |
