Overview
The Master of Mathematical Studies is designed for candidates who have an existing degree with at least first year mathematics. It is intended for candidates wishing to update and broaden their mathematical and/or statistical training at Bachelor level. 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 at least one year of mathematics.
Course Requirements
The degree will normally occupy two (2) sessions of full-time study or four (4) sessions of part-time study, and requires satisfactory completion of at least 48 credit points of Group A and B subjects, as set out in the list below. Candidates must complete at least 24cp of group B subjects. Entry into MATH990 or STAT990 is subject to the candidate completing at least 18cp of Group A or B subjects, with a minimum WAM of 65. The selection of subjects must be approved by the Head of Postgraduate Studies (HPS). The HPS will disallow subject choices for which the content is largely equivalent to subjects for which credit has already been obtained in other degree programs. Up to 12cp of other 900-level subjects, from the School of Mathematics and Applied Statistics or other units, may be included in the degree, if approved by the Head of Postgraduate Studies.
