Course aims

The Graduate Diploma in Applicable Mathematics is designed to offer suitably qualified graduates the background in mathematics required to pursue further studies in an area of mathematics, and particularly in the area of mathematical finance.

Admission requirements

Students are expected to have a sound background equivalent to second-year university mathematics and statistics.

Applicants for the Graduate Diploma should discuss their eligibility with the Program Leader for Postgraduate Programs (Mathematics). Those who have not completed the necessary prerequisites are required to enrol in appropriate subjects, either as non-award students or in a Graduate Certificate in Mathematical Sciences.

Attendance

Part-time students should be aware that attendance at daytime classes for some subjects may be unavoidable.

Course duration

The course is offered on a full-time basis over two semesters, or on a part-time basis over four semesters.

Course structure

The subjects in the Graduate Diploma include the necessary undergraduate mathematics background that will enable its graduates to proceed into the Bachelor of Mathematics and Finance (Honours) degree, provided an acceptable standard is reached. Exemption from some subjects, due to prior study, may be approved where warranted.

Students are required to complete 48 credit points, comprising seven core subjects and one elective. The elective is generally chosen from one of the major areas of Mathematics, Statistics or Operations Research, in the Bachelor of Science in Mathematics degree.

Course program

The course program consists of the following subjects:
35231 Differential Equations 6cp
35252 Statistics 2 6cp
35232 Advanced Calculus 6cp
35321 Analysis 1 6cp
35353 Regression Analysis 6cp
35322 Analysis 2 6cp
35361 Probability and Stochastic Processes 6cp
3xxxx Elective 6cp

Rules and regulations

Students will have their registration discontinued for failure to complete the course in eight semesters from the time of registration in the case of a part-time student, or four semesters from that time in the case of a full-time student, not inclusive of periods of leave of absence (Rule 3.2.6.1), or for any three failures in the course (unsatisfactory progress as defined by the Faculty Board resolution, FBMC/94/80) (Rule 3.2.6.2).
