The general regulations for all Postgraduate Diploma programmes in the Faculty of Science and in the Department of Pure and Applied Mathematics shall apply. In particular sections 4,6 and 8 on examinations and section 9 on awards in the faculty regulations apply.
The following shall be eligible for registration for the Postgraduate Diploma in Pure Mathematics
A holder of a Bachelors degree with at least Lower Second Class Honours, having studied Mathematics as a single subject or as a major of two subjects studied at the degree level at JKUAT or at any other University recognized by the Senate.
A holder of a quantitative degree, not necessarily in Mathematics, with at least Lower Second Class Honours, from JKUAT or any other University recognized by the Senate, but with relevant work experience in Mathematics. However, if an applicant’s background in Mathematics is insufficient, satisfactory audit of some undergraduate units as advised by the Department will be required.
