Bachelor of Medical Mathematics (Dean's Scholars)

Overview

The Dean's Scholars Degree offers a challenging and enriched educational experience for high-achieving students who want to perform above the level normally expected.  The Degree also encourages students to continue their studies through the completion of Honours and research degrees. There will be a limited number of places available for students across the Faculty each year, selected from new students with a base rank ATAR of at least 93 or from current students enrolled in an Informatics degree. Current Informatics students who have achieved a Weighted Average Mark (WAM) of 80 at the end of one year of full-time study within the Faculty, may apply to transfer into the Dean's Scholars program.

Entry Requirements / Assumed Knowledge

ATAR: The Dean's Scholars programs in the listed degrees will be available to students with a base ATAR of above 93, with a limited intake across the Faculty each year.

Current students (in non-Dean's Scholars degrees listed) are eligible to apply to transfer to the Dean's Scholars program providing they perform to the standard of a WAM of 80 for a full-time load over two (2) sessions. This also applies to students who are not commencing immediately after completing year 12, including those aged 21 years and over or international students. Transfers will only be approved for students who have completed no more than half of their degree (including credit transfers).

Applications

To apply for the Dean's Scholars programs, new students should include the relevant degree as one of your UAC preferences (see the UAC guide for the appropriate code).

Course Requirements/Eligibility

Course programs for the Dean's Scholars degrees are identical to the current non-Dean's Scholars degrees offered by the Faculty - see relevant Handbook entries.

Continuation in the Dean's Scholars degrees will normally be dependent on the student achieving a WAM of at least 75 in each year of study. Students who do not meet the required average will be transferred to the equivalent non-Dean's Scholars degree.

Please note that the Dean's Scholars Program is not offered to part-time students and is only available to International Students who are eligible to apply through UAC (for new students), or who have completed one year of full-time study at UOW (for current students). The program is not offered for double degrees and is not a scholarship.
