Bachelor of Mathematics Honours

Overview

Honours is a fourth year of study added on to the end of an undergraduate degree. It is a more challenging program that includes a research project. Students who wish to enter the Honours program should obtain the approval of the Honours Coordinator at the end of their third year.

Entry Requirements

Students must have achieved a Credit average or better in the Bachelor of Mathematics (or equivalent degree at another institution) and submit an application through UniAdvice.

Course Requirements

A student must complete 48 credit points to be eligible for the award of Honours. A candidate must select 7 topics (a candidate may select 8 or more topics with approval from the Head of the School) from those on offer at the 400 level in Mathematics and Statistics and complete a Project.

The coursework topics are usually sessional, and a candidate will normally take 4 topics in one session, 3 in the other. With the approval of the Head of the School, up to 2 of these topics may be replaced by 300 level Mathematics and Statistics subjects that may be considered appropriate to complement a particular candidate's previous undergraduate studies.

A candidate will complete a Project in an area of interest under the close supervision of one or more members of staff of the School.

Grade of Honours

The overall grade of Honours is determined by Method 1 (as described in the General Course Rules).
