Master of Mathematics
Overview
This program is designed to consolidate and expand the mathematics knowledge gained by a student in an undergraduate program and to develop skills in undertaking mathematical research projects.
Entry Requirements/Assumed Knowledge
A degree equivalent to a three-year Australian Bachelor degree with a major in a relevant area of Mathematics, or equivalent.
Applicants with a tertiary qualification containing a minimum of two years of mathematics may be considered.
Course Requirements
The degree will normally occupy two sessions of full-time study or four sessions of part-time study, and requires satisfactory completion of at least 48 credit points, as set out in the following course program.
The registration of a candidate will be subject to termination if that candidate fails subjects to the total value of 18 or more credit points.
