C06064v3 Graduate Diploma in Applicable Mathematics

Overview

The evolution of many disciplines frequently requires knowledge and skills in mathematics that many employees have not acquired in their undergraduate degree. As a consequence there is demonstrated and continuing demand for specialists trained in mathematics. The Graduate Diploma in Applicable Mathematics focuses on creating a solid mathematical background, needed for using mathematical methods in everyday practice and for further studies chosen in response to students' individual needs.

Course aims

The course is designed to offer graduates with one year of undergraduate mathematics study the mathematics background required to pursue further studies in an area of mathematics or its application.

Articulation

Additional admission requirements

Applicants should have a Bachelor's degree from UTS or other recognised institution and are expected to have knowledge in mathematics, comparable with the first-year subjects in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at UTS. Applicants who do not satisfy the second of these requirements may consider enrolment in the Graduate Certificate in Mathematical Sciences.

Additional recognition of prior learning

Exemptions from core subjects due to prior study may be approved. Contact the Faculty of Science for details.

Course duration and attendance

This course is offered on a full-time basis normally over two semesters, or on a part-time basis normally over four semesters. Applicants should be aware that subjects may require attendance at daytime classes.
