- MM7002: MM5022 Mathematics III - Complex Analysis
- MM7003: MM5020 Mathematics III - Abstract Algebra
- MM7007: MM5023 Mathematics III - Combinatorics
- MM8019: MM7042 Commutative algebra and algebraic geometry
- MM8002: MM7041 Topology
As for the requirement to have one of MM8001, MM8003, MM8008 or MM8009, this can also be fulfilled by MM7046 Advanced Real Analysis I (or the older version of the same course, which had course code MM8037).
